Lena was born January 3, 1945, to the late Ernest & Lena Horton Mays. She was educated in the public school system of Lee County. She was employed at Davidson Textron for many years. Lena was a member of Friendship Baptist Church. On January 20, 1965, two hearts became one when Lena was joined in holy matrimony to the love of her life Roosevelt Fuller Sr.
On April 21, 2024, God called Lena name so softly, that only she could hear, and no one heard the footsteps, of angels drawing near. It broke our hearts to lose her, but she did not go alone, for part of us went with her, the day God called her home. As Lena entered eternal rest she was greeted by her son Roosevelt Anthony Fuller, siblings Almeta Mays Smith, Mary Paul, Jack Mays, sisters in law, Mamie Dice, Patricia Fuller, aunts and uncles JC (Everly) Mays, Robert (Norma) Mays, Arthur Lee (Ella Ruth), Mays, James, Mays, Willie James (Annie) Horton, William Daniels.
