Barbara Jean (Tarsel) Fuller's Obituary
Barbara Jean (Tarsel) Fuller, 72, passed away Saturday, November 13, 2021, due to complications from Covid. She was born in Syracuse on March 21, 1949, to the late Edmund and Jean (Krol) Tarsel. Barbara graduated from Sacred Heart High School and received her degree in nursing from Onondaga Community College. Barbara worked for many years as a registered nurse and was well respected by her coworkers. Barbara was larger than life and her smile would light up a room. She had a wonderful sense of humor, played by her own rules, and was always laughing and making others happy. She loved her Mustang Convertible and was the “cool” grandma, known to play Pink Floyd at high decibels. Barbara was a huge part of her grandchildren’s life, helping raise them and was more like a “second mom” to them. Family was everything to her. Barbara was engaged to be married to the love of her life, Louis Palombit. They made many memories traveling and laughing together. Barbara will be remembered for her genuine kindness and will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
Barbara is survived by her daughter, Nicole (Steven)Micunek; Fiancé Louis Palombit; siblings, Michael Tarsel, Edward (Mary)Tarsel; grandchildren, Alexis Doyle, and Ryan Doyle.
