Ms. Keisha DeJuan Fuller

Keisha DeJuan Fuller was born on September 12, 1976, in Jackson-Madison County, Tennessee to Roy Fuller, Jr and Esther Lee Cox Fuller. She was a product of Jackson Madison County Public Schools, and graduated from Northside High School in 1995, where she was a member of the Northside Indian Band. She played the clarinet. Keisha was a lifelong member of The Tabernacle of David, The House of Israel until the time of her passing. Even though Keisha was sickly her entire adult life with lupus and kidney disease, she never let it get her down. Up until the day she passed, she was fighting to live! She truly was a source of inspiration to all who knew her. Not one to be late, she arrived an hour early to family events and would get mad when everyone else was late. Keisha was moody, spicy, spunky, sweet, and lovable all at the same time. We will miss her infectious smile. Growing up on Carruthers Drive, Keisha’s house was the place to be among neighborhood friends and family. There was never a dull moment. From organizing girl clubs, making up dance routines, getting wet on the slip and slide, riding bikes to Piggly Wiggly, kickball, hide and seek, sneaking popsicles out of the house, getting toes popped by her dad (Uncle June) to see how many stories were told, having fun and loving life, Keisha’s place was it! In addition, Keisha loved children. She never turned a cousin or a friend down when they needed a babysitter. If you needed to borrow her car because yours was broken down, Keisha was your girl. One of her cousins has her car right now, because of a broken-down vehicle. She was a lover of Sonic’s ice (the North Parkway location only), butterflies, and starburst candy. Making and buying reborn baby dolls, chilling with Netflix, Hulu, Prime, I-Phone games, Tyler Perry’s Sistas and telling people what and how to do were her past time hobbies. Two mottos Keisha lived by were from Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts. They were: “Make your mess your message” and “You got to change the way you think, to change the way you feel.” That was obvious, she loved life, even being sick for such a long time. Keisha was preceded in death by her father, Roy “June” Fuller, Jr.; a sister, Annette Clark; a paternal uncle, Billy Clyde Fuller, paternal grandparents, Roy and Jeanette Fuller, Sr.; maternal aunt, Theolester Witherspoon; maternal uncles, John Cox, Socrates Cox, James Cox, Otis Cox, Willie Edward Cox, Mayo Cox, Herman Cox, Walter Cox, and maternal grandparents, Brittan and Lula Joe Cox. She leaves to cherish her precious memories: her mother, Esther Lee Fuller; sister, Karen Denise Fuller; paternal aunts, Nellie Richmond, Tarstein Thacker, Geraldine Copeland, Mary (Jerry) Hill and Juanita Fuller all of Jackson, TN; a paternal uncle, Edward Fuller of Jackson, TN; a paternal great uncle, Robert Thomas Johnson, of Grand Rapids, MI; maternal aunts, Lula Pearl Harvey of Jackson, TN, and Geneva Lawrence of Memphis, TN; two maternal uncles, Brittan Cox, Jr. and Oliver Cox both of Memphis, TN, a niece, Chelsea Robertson and a nephew, Devin Clark, a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends, a play son, Cedale Fowler; VERY SPECIAL cousins, Terrence Copeland, Elisha Fuller, Danita Fowler, Nia Miller and Gnabu Hill. Very special friends that were with her until the very end, Bro. Lee H. Freeman, Sr. and his wife, Sis. Sarah Freeman.
