Ernest Eugene Fulton, 86, of Crowley passed away peacefully on Feb. 23, 2025. He lived the phrase, “Work hard. Play hard.” as a Navy veteran and Gulf oil rig electrician. His greatest treasure was his wife of nearly 55 years, Glenda “Pappy” Hebert. They built a life together in Jennings, where they rode life’s highs and lows, raising four strong sons and becoming active grandparents. When the time came to hang up his work boots, he and Glenda knew retirement wasn’t about slowing down — it was about shifting gears. Together they set off on new adventures, moving to Canyon Lake, Texas, then disappearing in their RV for months at a time. They enjoyed two decades of chasing sunsets and making memories that stretched as far as the highways they traveled.
