Brook Fuller

Nov 15, 1980 -

Jan 5, 2021

Following a reading of Robert Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" and surrounded by love, Brook Fuller peacefully passed on Jan. 5, 2021, in Yakima, Wash. Brook was born to Vicki Fuller on Nov. 15, 1980, minutes after her twin sister Jamie and three years to the day after their sister Brandy.

In 1994, after Brandy's passing, the family moved to Sitka, Alaska, where the twins attended Mt. Edgecumbe High School. In 1997, Brook left Sitka and traveled the Pacific NW extensively, returning often to Alaska to visit her enormous family of friends.

Never one to conform, Brook was a feminist who worked in the commercial fishing industry. Brook's amiable disposition and affectionate nature made her easy to love. Warm, sweet, smart and quick to laugh, with a calm presence and delightful smile, Brook was generous and kind to all humans and cats whose paths she crossed. To be by her side was to feel her love.

She was a lover, learner and traveler. She made her own clothing, valued the power of eyeliner, tea, an amazing meal, film and conversation. In her years, she lived in Chugiak, Sitka, Yakutat, and Juneau, Alaska, as well as in Seattle, Wash.

Like many other Alaskans, Brook's life was punctuated by the trauma of suicide and truncated by addiction. As she weathered her own, her warmth and ability to love and be loved served her well. She was grateful for the unconditional love and support of friends who helped guide her through the steps of accepting and living with her addiction, as well as the steps of celebrating and living with her recovery.

Brook was preceded in death by her sister, Brandy; and mother, Vicki. She is survived by her twin sister, Jamie; cousins, Shawn and Mandy; and paternal relatives.
