    Grace Esther (Hegwood) Fulton, 77, of Westfield, went to meet her Lord at 1:45 pm on November 16, 2018 surrounded by her loving family at Bridgewater Healthcare Center in Carmel. She will be greatly missed by those she served. Grace helped plant the good seed of the gospel which will bear fruit in its season. She was born March 23, 1941 in Hot Springs, South Dakota, a daughter of the late Martin Luther and Ethel Mae (Ingersoll) Hegwood. Grace was raised in a minister’s home and her family moved often and were well known in the Western States.

She and her husband pastored in Pueblo, CO, and later started a Christian Day School in Mitchell, NE. In 1966, they became missionaries to Bolivia where they served for a total of 20 years. They also taught at Union Bible Seminary. For 57 years she faithfully served alongside her husband. Those left to cherish Grace’s memory include her husband, Dr. James Leon Fulton; four children, Eunice (James II) McBryant of Cicero, Carol (Rodney) Farney of Sheridan, Stephen (Kimberly) Fulton Sr., of Traverse City, MI, and David (Leah) Fulton Sr., of Frankfort; 11 grandchildren, Elizabeth (Daniel) Xinico, James (Kimberly) McBryant III, David (Christa) Fulton Jr., Rachel (Abel) Dela Cruz, Carrie (Joshua) Kline, Sarah McBryant, Ashley (Andrew) Wilhelm, Stephen Fulton Jr., Joanna McBryant, Whitney (John) Boecker, and Amanda (Justin) Gross; 13 great-grandchildren; two brothers, Milton (Florence) Hegwood of Culbertson, NE and Jonathan (Marsha) Hegwood of Gering, NE; a sister, Laurel Wilson of Belton, MO, a sister-in-law, Helen Hegwood of Mitchell, SD and several nieces and nephews. Grace was preceded in death by a brother, Vernon Hegwood; a brother-in-law, Irvin Wilson; two nephews and a niece.
