Ann Faulkner

Mrs. Ann Faulkner, a resident of So. Fulton, TN, passed away Saturday, August 16, 2025, at 8:47 pm at her residence following a brief illness.

Ann was born in Fulton, KY., on February 24, 1951, to the late Eugene Melton and Oneida Brents Fortner.

She graduated from Fulton High School in 1969 and married her husband of 55 years, Danny Ray Faulkner, on July 3, 1970. Danny and Ann were always seen together, lending a helping hand to anyone who needed it and sharing those infectious smiles.

As a lifelong resident of this community, Ann was a member of South Fulton Baptist Church and retired from the Obion County School System, where she worked many years as a Teacher’s Aide at South Fulton Elementary School. Staying in touch with all of her former co-workers was important to Ann, as she enjoyed the luncheons they shared together at local restaurants. She also served as a Troop Leader for the local Girl Scouts of America, and of course, she loved spoiling her three wonderful grandchildren. 

Ann leaves behind to cherish her memory, her husband, Danny Ray Faulkner, So. Fulton, TN, and her Children, Stacey Ann Faulkner Hill, Columbus, KY. and Chad Ray (Stephanie) Faulkner, Knoxville, TN., her Grandchildren, Emily Ann Powell, Jacksonville, NC., Jackson Alan Hill, Paducah, KY., and Kaelyn Breanna Latta, Knoxville, TN. and a sister, Jane Lay, Garland, Texas.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by a sister, Joyce Henderson, and 2 brothers, Jerry and Ronnie Fortner.
