Elizabeth Lucille Lakey Fullmer (April 30th, 1984–June 11th, 2024) Elizabeth Lucille was born on April 30th, 1984, to Jimmie and Anne Marie Lakey. She was Jimmie’s reward at age 50 and his baby girl until his death in 2007. She passed peacefully from this mortal life and into eternal glory on Tuesday, June 11th, 2024, ending her battle with cancer. She fought an amazing battle against an awful disease. Remaining positive until the very end, expecting miracles, and never ceasing to testify of her Savior, Jesus Christ, His plan, and His will. Elizabeth is survived by her husband and sweetheart, Adam Dean Fullmer, and three beautiful daughters, Taylor Elizabeth (16), Bailey Colette (14), Raegan Lucille (12), and one handsome son, Brigham Dean (8). All of them were their mother’s pride and joy. She is also survived by her mother, Anne Marie Lakey. Elizabeth, the youngest of nine, is survived by six sisters and two brothers: Scott (Lori) Lakey, Diane Gomez, Rene (Samuel) Bayouth, Wendy (Jared) Elzea, Karri (Sean) Skelton, Sarah (Andrew) Weir, Jennifer (Michael) Jensen, and Caleb (Suzanne) Lakey. As well as her mother-in-law, Debbie Fullmer, her brothers-in-law, David (Mari), Daniel (Shirlyn), Andrew (Kelli), Brian (Nicki) Fullmer, and her sister-in-law, Sarah (Chris) Ritter, and Adam’s paternal grandparents, Darrel and Ruth Fullmer. Elizabeth was raised in west Boise, attending Summerwind Elementary, Lowell Scott Middle School, and Centennial High School. She was an excellent student and loved being with a crowd of friends. She was on the varsity cheer squad and a friend to everyone. This became a pattern for her whole life. Always lifting, smiling, and encouraging others in life. Never one to be critical or judgmental, she was fun-loving, sweet-natured, and free-spirited. She was a fireball, a planner, and a force to be reckoned with. No one told Liz no; she wouldn't accept it. She was a loving and wonderful daughter, as well as a sweet and admirable sister. Elizabeth was married and sealed for time and all eternity in the Boise, Idaho, temple to her high school sweetheart, Adam Fullmer, on November 5th, 2005. Liz worked at Coventry Mortgage, while Adam worked towards becoming a home appraiser. Liz supported Adam in all things, and Adam cherished Liz as the love of his life. Adam and Liz built a life, a family, and two homes together. Their focus was their family, and they spent countless hours at their children’s events. The girls excel at soccer and in their studies, and Brigham loves to play basketball and fish in the local neighborhood pond with his buddies. Liz led the Fullmer family in a very active life, helping the children to study and always encouraging them to do their best. She loved being a mom to everyone and everything, including raising a garden and small animals at their home in Middleton. She was the all-time perfect hostess. Dinners and celebrations at her house were an over-the-top event, with all the details covered and the house beautifully decorated. She was exceedingly generous with her time and talents and made everyone feel welcome. Her cheerfulness was contagious. Elizabeth was an aggressive slalom water skier and athlete. She was scheduled to compete in a sprint triathlon next month. Liz was a student all her life, studying at BYU and BSU, but most of all, she loved to study psychology and the scriptures. She was a rescuer of souls and had an infinite love for others. She often used the infinity sign (∞) to show her love, sometimes drawing it in the air to show her affection. She was a powerful example to the youth, loving them, becoming their friend, and impacting many as a seminary teacher for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Middleton. Elizabeth became a powerful example of what today’s youth could accomplish. She loved serving in the Meridian Temple baptistry because it allowed her more contact with the youth of the church. She is a great example of long suffering and forgiveness towards those who are spiritually struggling. Her faith and her family were paramount in her life. She lived close to the Savior and personified what a Christ-like daughter should become. Through her lifetime, she bore witness of Christ and was a powerful missionary. That continued through her battle with cancer and her untimely death. She refused to accept death, not because she was afraid of it but because of her vision of the future and her love of life. Her hope was that everyone would know the Savior of the world and be hopeful, never doubting the plans He has made for us. We will carry our memories in our hearts, sweet Lizzy. It is so hard to say goodbye to someone who has taught us so much. We will miss her sweet spirit and touch until we meet again. Hip hip hooray, you have won the fight! Our sweet “princess lincess” has arrived.
