Beth M. Fuller, age 80 of Fort Collins passed away peacefully on Saturday June 18, 2022, surrounded by loved ones in the comfort of her home.
A Colorado native, Beth grew up in Fort Morgan where, in her Junior year of High School, a shy and very tall farm kid named Ralph asked her to go to the prom. Their relationship grew through their time at the University of Colorado, where Beth earned a Bachelor's in Anthropology. Beth and Ralph married in January of 1967. After a few years of moving around the Midwest, they returned to Colorado. Beth and Ralph opened their first Jiffy Lube in 1977. In addition to having an active role in the family business, Beth started her own interior design business to share her creative talents with others.
In addition to her professional life, Beth had personal interests that ran the creative gamut. She got her life-long love of painting from her grandmother Grace, an accomplished artist. An ardent learner, Beth loved painting and art classes, and continued going to painting class with her friends after her stroke. Beth loved to travel, creating great memories with her loved ones.
Beth was preceded in death by her parents Frances and Millard. Those left to cherish her memory are her Husband Ralph, Children Sam Fuller and his partner Tim Belanger of Lakewood, CO, Sarah Fuller Elsen and her husband Corbett of Corte Madera, CA, Granddaughters Finley, Harper, and Dempsey Elsen. Brother Bruce Huey, Sisters Maud Kenyon and Mary Leleiwi along with nieces, nephews, and many close friends who were like family to Beth.
