Patricia Fulton, affectionately known as "Lil Bit," passed away peacefully on January 8, 2025, at the age of 91, surrounded by her loving family at Medical Center Hospital in Odessa, Texas.

Born on December 3, 1933, in Rio Hondo, Texas, to Walter and Thema Elizabeth (Rosson) Fletcher, Patricia was a vibrant woman who approached life with boundless energy and unwavering faith. Her marriage to Jacob Earnestine "John" Fulton was a testament to enduring love and resilience that touched countless lives.

A talented and dedicated choir singer, Patricia found joy in using her voice to lift spirits in praise. Strongly devoted to her family, she radiated love, humor, and fortitude in her roles as a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother. With a spirited personality and sharp wit, she was affectionately known as a "spitfire," her faith a guiding force in her life.

An explorer at heart, Patricia blazed trails by driving a truck across all 50 states until the remarkable age of 88, a symbol of her remarkable spirit and determination.

Patricia is survived by her three children: Deborah Brittain (JT), Carl Fulton, and Button Fulton (Mary); eight grandchildren; nineteen great-grandchildren; ten great-great-grandchildren; and brother Franklin Lee Fletcher. She leaves behind her loyal companion, Casper.

Preceded in death by her husband, son, grandchildren, great-grandchild, parents, and siblings, Patricia's indomitable legacy will forever resonate with those who knew her. Her memory will be cherished for her strength, love, and infectious smile.

A graveside service will take place on Saturday, January 11, 2025, at the Fulton Family Cemetery on the family ranch next to her late husband. A gathering will follow the service at 207 W Gulf Ave in Goldsmith, Texas, 79741.

The family expresses their gratitude for all expressions of sympathy and invites floral or memorial contributions through the Sympathy Store in honor of Patricia Fulton.
