Linda Fuller Chauvin

Linda Fuller Chauvin of Austin passed away on April 25, 2023 after being diagnosed with dementia over 5 years ago. She was born in Barnum, Texas on December 23, 1940 in the East Texas piney woods. She grew up in the sawmill town of Camden where her father worked.

 

Linda graduated as the valedictorian from Chester High School. She graduated from Sam Houston State University, Bachelor of Science, in 1966, majoring in journalism. Linda taught eighth grade for several years at East Bernard ISD where she and her husband, Charles, chose East Bernard as a good place to live and raise their two boys. While living in East Bernard Linda was active in the United Methodist Church, Boy Scouts, Chamber of Commerce and many other community activities. In 1993 she was named "Citizen of the Year" by the East Bernard Chamber of Commerce. Linda and Charles divided their time between their cabin in Cuchara, Colorado and Austin. Travel was their passion, France and Italy especially. Using their Delta Air Lines travel privileges, they enjoyed traveling all over the world appreciating other cultures. Linda was a long-time member of the "East Wharton County Every Other Wednesday Bridge Club" where she continued to play after moving to Austin in 1993. The Chauvins are long time members of the Covenant United Methodist Church, Austin.

 

Linda is preceded in death by her parents, J,D. Fuller and Winnie Pugh Fuller of Barnum, Texas; her sister, Nada Fuller Jordan of Chester, Texas; and her brother-in-law, Lewis Nowlin of Barnum.

Linda is also survived by sister Barbara Nowlin of Barnum, and Charles Fuller(spouse Bonnie) of Livingston plus numerous nieces and nephews.

 

The family would like to thank our friend retired RN Rebecca May for her help with Linda's final weeks. We are grateful to Enhabit Hospice, especially RN Janelle Lemon, for their help, guidance, support, and kindness. Thanks to all TheKey caregivers, especially Tony Davis, who was with us on Linda's final day.

 

A memorial service is planned for this summer at the flower meadow above Cuchara, Colorado on La Veta Pass as Linda requested. Time and place to be announced later.
