Dulin Fulks

Dulin Fulks, 85, of Gosnell, passed away Sunday, March 10, 2019, at St. Bernards Medical Center in Jonesboro. Dulin was born to Thomas Aaron and Minnie Maybell Trantham Fulks in Stone County, Arkansas. He was the founder of Fulks Auto Salvage and a lifelong resident of Gosnell. Second only to his wife Betty and his family was his love for demolition derbies, racing cars and hunting dogs. He enjoyed the outdoors, no matter what the weather was like outside. He was the checker king and no one could beat him at a game of checkers. Dulin had a bright smile and was always ready for conversation.
