Barbara Knox “Bobbie” Fuller was a bright and loving daughter, sister to three siblings, mother to three children, grandmother to seven, and great-grandmother to six. She was Aunt Bobbie to many nephews and nieces now living in Montana, Washington, Wyoming and Nevada.
Bobbie was born Aug. 1, 1924 in Great Falls to Joe and Marian Knox and was raised in the Judith Valley north of Stanford on a farm during the depression. Her father died when she was 17 and she had to help her mom on the farm and with running the household. She graduated from Stanford High in 1942. During World War II she worked in Phoenix as a typist and waited for the safe return of her high school sweetheart, Eddie Fuller, from service as an airman in England and 23 months in a German POW Camp after his B-17 was shot down over Germany.
Bobbie and Eddie married in Stanford in 1945 and moved to join Bobbie’s mother to help on a newly purchased farm on the Stillwater River north of Kalispell. There they began a family with the birth of their son, Jeffrey, in 1946. Eddie started working for the county driving road equipment and then moved the family to Bremerton to work as a welder on Naval ships during the Korean War.
