Donna Jean (Anderson) Fuller passed into the Lord's arms on July 27, 2026, at the age of 91 in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Donna was born on November 4, 1934, to C. Art and Ethel (Kinzley) Anderson of rural Salem, South Dakota. As the youngest of eight children, she enjoyed the activities of farm life, especially her time herding cattle with her horse and dog. 

Donna attended Bethel College, where she met Donald C. Fuller. They married in 1955, and soon afterward she embraced her role as a pastor's wife in Fish Lake, Minnesota, while Don completed his seminary degree. Throughout their years of ministry, Donna was a devoted partner to Don, serving faithfully in the many responsibilities that church life required. Together, they shared a heart for those who were hurting, often traveling to visit members of their congregation who were hospitalized, ill, or homebound. 

Over the years, Donna and Don served churches in Fish Lake and Cambridge, Minnesota; Lake Nebagamon, Wisconsin; and, for their longest tenure, Anaconda, Montana. Donna was deeply caring and genuinely interested in people. She loved children and dedicated herself to children's ministry, while also nurturing a lifelong love of gospel music. Her deep faith in Jesus Christ strengthened and guided her as she served others tirelessly. Even in her final days, she remained mindful of her Christian testimony and her desire to share God's love with others. 

Donna's family and friends knew her for her steadfast loyalty and thoughtfulness. She faithfully remembered birthdays and anniversaries with cards and notes and cherished opportunities to visit with loved ones while traveling to church conferences and gatherings. Her warm spirit, infectious laugh, and memorable sense of humor brought smiles to all who knew her. 

Donna was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Donald C. Fuller, and her grandson, John M. Denny. She is survived by her children: David Fuller (Kay), Dennis Fuller (Laurie), and Dawn Denny (John); her grandchildren: Janelle Rimmereid (Peter), Jenny Sorensen (Greg), Matthew Denny, and Daniel Fuller (Anna); and her seven great-grandchildren: Adelle, Micah, Ellsie, and Isaac Rimmereid; Sadie and Josiah Sorensen; and Vivienne Griffin. 

A service to remember and celebrate her life will be held on a later date in early June of 2027, in Sioux Falls, SD. To read a full obituary and view updated service times and information, please visit www.amundsonfuneralhome.com.
