With heavy hearts, we announce the peaceful passing of Linda Jean Fuller on May 15, 2026, at the age of 61. Linda took her final breath at the Baptist Hospital in Jackson, Mississippi, surrounded by the love of her cherished family.
Born on September 4, 1964, in Jackson, MS, Linda was the beloved daughter of the late Mary Bell Fuller and Velma Williams. She was the light of their lives and carried their legacy of kindness and compassion throughout her own journey. Linda was preceded in death by her parents, as well as her grandmother, Willie Jefferson, and her siblings Juanita Fuller and Lydell Fuller.
Linda's life was a testament to the power of love, family, and community. She leaves behind a devoted family who will forever treasure her memory: her daughter, Tashana Denise Fuller, and her son, Jermaine Demond Fuller. Her spirit also lives on in her beloved grandchildren, Rayburn Wiggins Jr. and Janya Walker, who brought immense joy to her life.
Linda's legacy of warmth and generosity is carried forward by her siblings: Henry Fuller, Willie Mae Fuller, Dorothy Ann Cunningham, Alice Ruth Wright, Gloria Fuller, Charles Fuller, Colmon Fuller, Benard Fuller and his wife Evelyn, Carl Fuller and his wife Loraine, and Marsha Fuller. Her family, alongside countless friends, will continue to hold her memory close to their hearts.
Educated in the Clinton Public School district, Linda excelled both academically and in athletics, finding joy in playing basketball during her time at Sumner Hill High School. Beyond her school years, Linda found relaxation and happiness in watching her favorite television shows, often sharing laughter and stories with those she loved.
Linda's life was marked by her unwavering dedication to her family and her community. Her kindness, strength, and warm spirit touched all who had the privilege of knowing her. She was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, family member, and friend, whose legacy of love will continue to inspire all who knew her.
A celebration of Linda's life will be held on May 23, 2026, at 10:00 AM at Smith Mortuary in Clinton, MS. Family, friends, and all whose lives were touched by Linda are invited to join in honoring her memory and celebrating the beautiful life she led.

If Tomorrow Starts Without Me
If tomorrow starts without me,
and I'm not there to see,
if the sun should rise and find your eyes
all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things
we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand
that an angel came and called my name
and took me by the hand.
Special Thanks
The family of Linda Jean Fuller extends heartfelt gratitude for your prayers, support, and kindness during this time.
There will be no repast.
