Obituary For Leslie Cook Fuller
Leslie Cook Fuller 63 of West Point, Ga. Passed away on December 13, 2020 at LaGrange Hospital after a life long struggle with diabetes. She faced her relationship with this disease as a “matter of fact” part of daily life, never letting it slow her down in her pursuit of a joyful happy life.
Leslie is survived by her husband Richard Thomas Fuller, their son Richard Thomas Fuller II , Sister Cindy Cook Chadwick and her husband Anthony Chadwick of Valley Al., a brother Bryan Cook and his wife Cheryl of West Point, GA. Leslie was the daughter of Edwin Cook Sr. and Era Hill Cook. Leslie worked as an assistant in several West Point Drug Stores and found a real joy in substitute teaching in the Troup Co. School System. She was a magnet for children and delighted in teaching and playing with them in schools across the area. They will all remember her as one of the bright moments in their education. Leslie was a fighter in making sure that her own son who was challenged with physical disabilities got a normal City School System education. One of her proudest moments was watching him walk on his on power across the graduation stage at La Grange stadium to receive his High School diploma. He accepted his diploma to the applause of the entire standing student body and grandstands . It was a courageous mother that made that possible.
Richard and Leslie loved taking short vacations to the mountains of North Ga. and to the beaches of the Gulf coast. Getting snowed in at a mountain cottage was just one more exciting adventure for the family to enjoy together. RT loved boiling away in a hot tub with a winter wonderland view. Leslie was a self-professed Country Girl taking great joy in looking after her family and home . She adored holidays and season changes. Leslie decorated any available surface with her store house of seasonal decorations. That meant from the mailbox on the highway to the last rung of the back deck was bedecked with some bright offering of the season. If you could plug it in and it lit up it was fair game for Leslie.
Leslie loved anything with four legs but focused on cats above all others. I think there was a GPS for cats in West Point that guided homeless felines to the Fuller back deck. They seldom remained homeless.
Leslie will be missed by all who fell into her space of celebrating life with a childlike joy in the ordinary things an ordinary day can bring. But it helps to put a little tinsel on it. Leslie will be interred in Marseilles Cemetery, West Point at 11am on Thursday Dec. 17, 2020. with Rev. Mark McGee officiating.

To Richard, RT, Cindy and Bryan I'm so very sorry to learn of Leslie's passing. I remember the family at all those Hill Christmas get-togethers for many years. She was a sweet soul. I know she'll be missed so much by you all. God bless you. You are in my prayers. Miriam Hood Davis
Leslie and I became acquainted through her sister and my sister in law Cindy Cook Chadwick. She and I had become better known to each other as both of our sons are special needs and also through our Love of cats. She and I regularly exchanged posts to one another with Funny cat memes. She was also the reason we adopted our latest CAT member of the family through a friend of hers that had become allergic. I am saddened at Leslie's passing. Im glad I got the chance to become her friend. God bless you Leslie, Little Richard and Big Richard. God has a new Angel in Heaven and I bet she can be found rounding up all the kitties. Rest in Peace my friend
