March 13, 2023

Donnie Fulks, 76, of Mt. Sidney, VA, passed away on Sunday, March 12, 2023 at the University of Virginia Medical Center, after a lengthy illness. A man of MANY words, he will be missed by all, as he takes the oxygen tube out of his nose and takes a long deep breath.

Donnie was born May 17, 1946, in Norton, VA, the son of his beloved parents, Isaac P. (Ike) Fulks and Cassie C. Fulks. Family members who preceded him in death, along with his parents, include a brother Drexel Fulks, and a sister Almeda Baker. Donnie was also predeceased by the mother of his children, Gloria Combs.

Donnie was generous to a fault,… if it meant for him to provide for a need, … it made his day better.
