CUSHING — Roberta Jean "Bert" (Richards) Fuller, 59, passed away April 24, 2016, of unknown causes at her home, with her loving family by her side. Roberta was born Oct. 27, 1956, to William and Violet (Vose) Richards of Friendship.

Bert was the beloved wife of Glen Fuller, with whom she would have celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary this year.

Most recently she was employed as an outbound service agent at Taction in Rockland. In the summer months she owned and operated Cowbells ice cream truck, where she would go around to parks and beaches selling ice cream.

Bert had a love for life. She loved her children and grandchildren with all her heart. She so enjoyed going camping, spending summers at the former Atticus Hill Campground, and she also enjoyed her trips to the Casino. Bert had a great collection of cows - you could find a cow in any room of her home. She enjoyed family gatherings, where she was well known for her peanut butter fudge. She had a great love for her dogs, Molly and Missy. Bert was looking forward to her newest grandchild, who is due in June.

Bert was predeceased by her parents; her brothers, Robert and Roy Richards; her mother-in-law, Ruth Fuller; and her beloved dog, Hoochie.

Left to cherish her memory are her husband, Glen Fuller of Cushing; her daughters, Jody Shay and her husband, Dan, of Rockland, Jessica Flanders and her husband, Clarence, of Cushing, Jamie Pasquini and her husband, Michael, of Montral, Quebec, and Janessa Beale and her partner, Will O'Connor, of Concord, N.H.; along with her son, Matthew Yattaw and his partner, Haylea Lujan, of Rockland. Bert is also survived by her sisters, Elizabeth Dinsmore and her husband, Wayne, of Friendship, Goldie Richards of South Thomaston, and Barbara Robinson and her husband, Chet, of Spruce Head; her brother, Victor Richards of Harmony; and by her grandchildren, Dan, Deven and Dylan Shay, Luca and Ella Pasquini, and Madison Flanders; and her great-grandchildren, Aleah, Alivia and Areanna Shay.

Bert is also survived by her stepchildren, Jason and his wife, Patty, Francine and Glen Fuller Jr., Bonnie and Wendy Fuller and their children, Sarah, Aaron, Cade and MacKenzie; as well as many nieces, nephews and friends.

A graveside service will be held on Wednesday, April 27, at 2 p.m. at the Old Village Cemetery, (behind the Methodist Church) in Friendship, with the Rev. Scott Townsend officiating. The family will be receiving friends and hosting a reception at Hahn Community Center in Friendship immediately after the graveside service.

Hall's of Thomaston has care of the arrangements.
