Willow Ray Fuller, 2 and half years old, of Charlottesville Virginia tragically passed away on Saturday, July 27, 2024. Born February 4, 2022 in Charlottesville Virginia, she was the daughter of Roger Ray Fuller Jr. and Destiny Marie Morris Bednar. Willow was proceeded in death by her Paternal Grandfather, Roger Ray Fuller and Maternal Great-Grandmother, Palma Reed

Willow was a fiercely independent, self-assured, vibrant, and joyous little girl with a free spirit. She had the brightest blue eyes and the prettiest blond hair. She lit up any room she walked in with her beautiful smile and contagious laughter that could turn a grey sky blue. She had the best belly laughs and the sweetest little voice you would ever want to hear. She loved everything outdoors including her dogs, horses and any kind of wildlife she would find on a walkabout. She loved watching colorful sunsets and the passing clouds, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and in particular goldfish crackers. She enjoyed exploring her dad’s family farm, riding horses with her mom, watching Shrek (where she could repeat parts of the dialogue with the accompanying intonation), and pointing out cows in the fields. Her most favorite thing to do was pick flowers and smell them until her nose turned yellow and was covered in pollen.

She leaves behind to cherish her memory, her loving parents Roger Fuller Jr. and Destiny Marie Morris Bednar; Paternal Grandmother Marian Fuller; Maternal Grandparents, Suzanne and Matthew Bednar, Angel Wooldridge, Harold T. Morris Jr.; Maternal Great-Grandparents, Frank and Betty Layman, N. Ray Reed, Evelyn Kirby, Michael Bednar and Jo Lawson, Mary Bednar, Harold T. Morris; Uncles Paul Fuller, Gene Young, Brayden Morris, Tyler Morris, Cole Bednar, and Nicholas Bednar; Aunts Michelle Fuller, Nikki Fuller and Stacey Fuller, and Meranda Bednar; Cousins Kali and Mackenzie Turner; Abby, Alex and Ryan Fuller; Asher, Grayson and Tenisee Young; Hayden Wade, Evvie Fulkerson; special friend, Michael Todd Adcock; along with great aunts, great uncles, and other extended family and friends.

Our family would like to recognize those who have shown their love and support during this difficult time, especially those who have traveled from out of town to be here. The outpouring of love has been incredible and has helped us all so much. We love you and are grateful to have you in our lives.
