After a courageous 10-year battle with a rare form of cancer, our dear wife, mother and grandmother returned home to our Heavenly Father on July 8, 2011. Born November 5, 1940, in Caliente, Nevada to Joseph & Lorene Kersh. She married her sweetheart, Richard (Jim) Fullmer, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on September 22, 1960. Together for over 50 years, they raised 5 children: Greg (Dee Dee), Mindy Harbrecht (Chris), Scot (Jennifer), Angela Gowans, & Christian (Chaelyn). She enjoyed many hobbies including collecting & making dolls, ceramics, sewing, cooking, planting petunias, ballet and Sunday drives with Dad. She had a movie collection larger than Blockbuster and was notorious for cheating at all board games. Mom & Dad belonged to a unique group of friends known as "The Study Group," 7 couples who gathered together monthly to discuss the gospel, parenting and a whole lot of desserts. Carol had a faithful testimony and love of our Savior, Jesus Christ, that she often shared with her family. She willingly served in many callings in the LDS Church, including over 4 years as a matron in the Jordan River Temple, along with Dad.
