B was born in Brownlee, Nolan County, Texas on January 6, 1921, to
Ovelia Mae Jacobs and Wm Edgar Barnes. Her maternal grandparents were
Martha Jean Teeples and Wm Henry Jacobs. Paternal grandparents were
Bridget Bradley and John Franklin Barnes. This family, pioneers of
Nolan County, purchased a section of land in the Wastella Community
for $3 an acre in November 1904. They traveled to Roscoe in a covered
wagon for supplies, and Bridget owned and operated a hotel there in
later years.

B graduated from Wastella High School, winning sewing contests and
playing basketball. Her first job was as a Nolan County clerk in the
tax office. At the time, she lived in what is now known as the
Forrester House on the corner of Sam Houston and Colorado Streets.
She married Travis Fullwood on October 28, 1939. They had a family of
four girls, and in 1950, the family opened their cabinet shop and
building trades. Many homes in the area have kitchen cabinets and
mill work created by Travis and B Fullwood. She and Travis retired in
1983, and she enjoyed shopping and genealogy while Travis enjoyed
golfing.

She was preceded in death by her parents, William Edgar & Ovella Mae
Barnes; four brothers; and one daughter, Linda B. Fullwood Jordan on
Oct. 2, 2004.

Survivors include her husband of 68 years, Travis Fullwood; devoted
daughters, Wanda Williams and her husband Carl of San Angelo, Bonnie
Ware and her husband Dowling of Arlington and Truby Harding and her
husband L.C. of Kerrville; eight grandchildren, seventeen great-
grandchildren, one great-great grandchild; one brother, J.W. Barnes
of Demming, N.M.; and two sisters, Velma Kinner and Edna Smith, both
of Sweetwater and their families.
