With mixed feelings of sadness and joy we want you to know that our beloved daughter and sister Kristin Fuller Cook peacefully slipped the bonds of this life to be with her Lord and Savior. She was born the second child to Donald & Kay (Standage) Fuller and her arrival brought with it news of severe physical disabilities. Kristin endured countless medical procedures, treatments, obstacles and therapies throughout her life in an effort to improve her condition. She endured life with a will that was indomitable and with a determination that she would do all she could to have a full life, and she did. Wheelchairs, braces, and special equipment are all gone now, she is free from earthly constraints. She made friends easily and to all who loved and befriended her we thank you so much for the kindness and joy you brought to her life. You were her life and she loved you all so much. Kristin exceeded all of the doctors’ predictions for her life span and on each recent birthday she would proudly reflect that she had beaten the doctors’ expectations. To all who have helped, treated and cared for Kristin throughout her life we thank you, you have been angels to her.
Kristin attended Mesa public schools graduating from Mesa High School. She married her sweetheart Kent E. Cook, who predeceased her. She was proud of her marriage and the fact that they were sealed in the Mesa Arizona Temple. Kristin was a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She accomplished a great deal in her limited time and she wanted the fullest life she could have. Being free from an imperfect body I am guessing that in the spirit she is 5’ 4” tall and is running around with family and loved ones to her hearts content while awaiting a joyous resurrection with a perfect body. Enjoy it sweetheart, you deserve every minute of it. Kristin is survived by her parents Donald & Kay (Standage) Fuller, her brothers Scott (Diane) Fuller, Steven (Andrea) Fuller, Bradley (Sarah) Fuller and her sister Elise (Chad) Dana. And she is loved by nieces and nephews who remember aunt Kristin.
Until we meet again, we love you and have you in our hearts.

This was so beautifully written. Perfectly expressed. No one else could have been a better family for her – especially her devoted mother! Hers was a life well lived defying her limits in every way possible. I love your vision of who she is and how much happiness is now hers. How is it possible to feel both happiness and grief simultaneously? Freedom comes to mind! I hope that is comforting. We live you!
Deepest condolences to the family. Kristin has been a great friend for years and we will miss her.
I am so saddened to hear of Kristen’s passing. She had many struggles as did you I’m sure over the years, but I I want you to know how much she and your whole family are loved! It is always hard to lose a loved one, but when we know they are in a better place it does bring a bit of peace and joy. If there is ever anything I can do for your family please let me know after all you have done over the years for mine I will always be in your debt ! 💕

Mr too, what Kim said. What we all think. So many years our beloved friends and neighbors,the Fuller family was examples of how you do “hard”. We love them all.
What a beautiful tribute. I’m so happy that she is now free from the limitations of her physical body. She has waited patiently for our Savior’s promises to be fulfilled for her. She was always an example to me of faith and patience in God’s timing.
Kristin will be greatly missed! I loved her spunk, and love for life! We have lots of great memories together, riding my bike alongside her wheelchair Kristin eating Sunday dinners with our family then listening to me play the piano afterwards:) she had such a cute sense of humor and didn’t mind a bit giving me, blake or my kids a hard time until we meet again😊❤️Love you dear Kristin and so thankful you are free from your physical limitations
We just read about Kristin’s passing but our hearts go out to the Fuller family and all those that loved and knew Kristin. The Fuller family has shown so much kindness to others and we hope you receive comfort during this time of grieving too.
