Mrs. Fulmer was born Nov. 5, 1943, in Natchez, the daughter of James R. Jones Sr. and Clarice E. Jones.

Sandra was an active member of Parkway Baptist Church and Adult 5 Sunday School class. She had previously served as a Single Adult leader where she touched many lives through her testimony and example. As a member of the Sanctuary choir for several years, she quietly yet sincerely offered praises to her Lord.

Being blessed with a creative nature, she was also an outstanding floral arranger and home decorator which she practiced in both Natchez and Jackson. That creativity carried over into her home and personal appearance where she had just that “special touch.”

However, the most important thing in her life was her love and faith for her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This commitment was closely followed by her total devotion and love for her family. Her sole purpose was to guide each of them to know and love the Lord and thus know eternal salvation. Today we can truly say about Sandra, “well done, good and faithful servant … come and share your Master’s happiness!

She was preceded in death by her parents; and her only son-in-law, John P. Rachal.
