As founding patron of Tall Ships Adventure, Jeanne Fuller’s generosity has ensured that no youth was left ashore for want of funds for over 40 years.
​
On Sunday, December 17th, 2017 in the warm glow of the sunset and evening star at The Moorings surrounded by her loving family while overlooking Britannia Bay, Jeanne Fuller crossed the bar reuniting with her beloved husband, Captain T.G. Fuller – together for eternity.
​
A wonderful life indeed. Her example of unconditional love, kindness, generosity, and sense of the moment will be commended to our hearts and enrich our lives for all the rest of our days.
