Bridget Ann Fuller

November 12, 1930 - January 20, 2021

Bridget Ann Fuller, age 90, of Townsend, WI passed away January 20, 2021 at Aspirus Langlade Hospital, Antigo. She was born in Keshena, WI on November 12, 1930. Growing up, she lived in various places traveling for her father’s work, and attended schools in upper Michigan and Wisconsin, graduating from Hortonville High School in 1948. She met Irvin Fuller in Townsend, WI while he was playing in a baseball game. She said she took one look at him and knew he was “the one”. They married on April 12, 1952 and they lived and raised their family in Appleton. She worked at Miller Electric for her career and retired in 1991. She was the executive secretary to Mrs. Miller and her daughter, Margaret M. Gilson. She enjoyed her years working for the Miller family and met many great friends there during her career, which she talked about fondly over the years. Bridget belonged to St. John Lutheran Church in Townsend, WI and looked forward to services on Sunday with her church family, and also looked forward to the bible classes taught by Pastor Mueller. During her lifetime, she was an avid reader and loved to learn. She spent time gardening, learning to knit, and she very much appreciated the Lakes Public Library in Lakewood for books and other materials to quench her thirst for knowledge. She and Irv enjoyed snowmobiling, boating and traveling with family and friends over the years. Her two most favorite trips were to the Holy Land and to Africa, which were both on her bucket list to see. She was preceded in death by her parents, John and Geneva Pulda, and her son, John. Bridget is survived by her husband of 68 years, Irvin, son Michael (Vicky), daughter Patricia (Bruce) Van Ryzin, grandchildren David (Lori) Fuller, Wendy (Cory) Fellner, Jacob and Joshua Van Ryzin, great-grandchildren Katelyn Fuller, Jason Vanden Heuvel, Landon and Maliyah Fellner, and great-grandson Jackson Vanden Heuvel. Bridget loved her family and often commented how lucky we were to have such a wonderful family. She was a compassionate person and always wanted to help others. She also had strong faith, and her daily saying was “life is good, thank you god.” To honor Bridget’s memory, donations can be made to The Christian Food Pantry in Lakewood or Lakes Public Library in Lakewood. Due to concerns of COVID, the family is planning a private family service at this time. They will plan a celebration of life for Bridget this summer. Weber-Hill Funeral Home is assisting the family with the arrangements. Online condolences for the family may be directed to www.weberhillfuneralhome.com
