Judy Lee (Doyle) Fuller
Judy Lee (Doyle) Fuller, age 64, of Richwood, went home to be with her lord on Monday evening, July 7, 2008 at Marion General Hospital surrounded by her loving family, following a courageous battle with cancer that began in 2005.
On May 18, 1944, Judy was born in Magnetic Springs, Ohio, the daughter of the late Wallace E. and Ruth (Caskey) Doyle. A graduate of North Union High School, she graduated in the top three of her class.
Loved by all, a kind and caring person, Judy began her career in the early 1970’s while working alongside her love and lifelong husband at Kenny’s Restaurant in Marysville, Ohio. A few years later she continued her career path while working at Lawson’s Milk Mart in Marysville. She and her husband returned to the food business, while starting up Kenny’s Industrial Catering. Here they met and served food to many business’ in the Delaware and Marysville area. During the early 1980's, due to health reasons, the family moved to the Richwood area and shortly afterwards Judy worked at the 5&10 store downtown. It was in 1990, that Judy became infamous for becoming the “donut lady”. Mrs. Reinison’s Donuts and later the Richwood Donut Shop became the meeting place for people far and near. Whether it was just to get a cup of coffee or a donut to go, Judy was ALWAYS there to greet you with a smile and ask “How may I help you?” For about 18 years Judy served the Richwood community, and even during her battle with cancer, you could always find Judy getting things ready to go by 4:30am every morning.
Judy was a member of the Richwood Church of Christ, where she was baptized many years ago. She loved gardening, reading, and a passion for cooking. Whether it was a holiday dinner, or submitting an excellent dish for the Richwood Fair, you could always find Judy in the kitchen. But her favorite past time, had to be spending time with her granddaughter Meghan. It may have been coloring a picture, reading a book, or getting a snack, Judy loved life best while spending time with Meghan.
She will be extremely missed by her husband of 46 years Kenneth (Kenny); her son Eric (Maggie) of Richwood, two sisters: Grace Smith of Ostrander and Ann Hummel of Kilborne, along with many other family members. She was predeceased by 1 sister: Betty
Hempy and 1 brother: Bernard Doyle
