LaRue and Steven Walker
St. George
LaRue Rampton Fuller Walker was born Feb. 17, 1922, in Bountiful, UT & passed away on Dec. 18, 2010 in St. George, UT from Alzheimer's. She was the daughter of Fredrick Leorin and Marie Lee Rampton (both deceased) of Bountiful, UT. She was blessed with a son, Jay Dennis Fuller, from her first marriage to Jesse J. Fuller. However, it was her marriage to Steven Lamar Walker that filled her life with love, caring, adventure & travel for 56 years.
With her younger sister, Faye, LaRue grew up in Bountiful, UT in the 1920s & 1930s. She was popular & pretty. In high school, she played clarinet in band & orchestra. LaRue graduated from Davis HS in 1940. She attended Utah State Agricultural College (now USU) in Logan for 2 years. She married her high school sweetheart, Jesse Fuller on Sept. 22, 1941. They briefly lived in California before Jesse enlisted with the Army Air Force in 1943 & during WWII LaRue served as a Procurement Specialist in the Army AF in Burbank, California from 1942-1944.
Her son, Jay, was born Aug. 16, 1945, back in Utah. Divorced from Jesse, LaRue became a working single mother. Her parents helped her raise their grandson in Bountiful. She had over a 20 year career in insurance management & most of those years were with the Taylor Agency at Prudential Federal Savings & Loan Ass. In 1953, her son Jay was diagnosed with a mild case of polio. Jay recovered because LaRue aggressively pursued the best medical treatments available at that time even traveling to Mesa, AZ for a change of climate for him.
She met Steven LaMar Walker in 1953 & they were married July 31, 1954, at the Ambassador Club in SLC.(photo). In 1969, they made a major life change by leaving UT & moving to Polson, MT to build & operate a motel. For a few years LaRue also worked at a local bank, but the goal changed from opening a motel to a high-end gift shop, Walker's Gift Box in 1970.
During her years in Polson, MT and St. George, UT, LaRue was an active member of Beta Sigma Phi [a non-academic social, cultural & service sorority for women] for 30 years. She held the Laureate Degree. She served as the sorority's City Council Rep., Treasurer, Extension Officer, Recording or Corresponding Secretary. She received the Order of the Rose & was Sweetheart & Woman of the Year in 1979. LaRue was also a breast cancer survivor.
LaRue & Steve decided to retire in 1990, moved to St. George, UT and built their dream home in Bloomington. They resided at 904 Rio Virgin Drive until 2010. Several of their UT & MT friends also retired to St. George & they had many fun-filled years playing golf, card games, shopping, & travel.
LaRue was preceded in death by her loving husband, Steven L. Walker.
