January 4, 1943 ~ May 30, 2026 (age 83)
Arthur Glenn Fussell Sr., known to all as “Mac”, left this earth to be with the Lord peacefully on Saturday, May 30th, at the age of 83.
Born on January 4, 1943 in the Toulminville area of Mobile, AL to Jim and Elma Fussell, Mac was the youngest of 7 children. He lived a life marked by kindness, dedication, and love for family and friends. He was known for his strong character, generous spirit, and unwavering commitment to those he cared about.
After serving as a mechanic in the Air Force, Mac spent many years working as an electrician as an active member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 505. Outside of work, he enjoyed restoring the 1967 Chevelle that belonged to his father. He also enjoyed playing golf and travelling. He was an active member of First Baptist church of Opelika, where he enjoyed singing in the choir, fellowshipping with his Sunday school class, and attending his men’s Bible Study group. He also enjoyed building furniture, creating many beautiful pieces for his family members, which will serve as reminders of his compassion and resourcefulness for years to come.
Above all, Mac cherished his family. He is survived by his wife of 57 years Gail Walker Fussell, daughter Stacie Money (Lonnie), son Glenn Fussell (Shannon), son Paul Fussell (Kelly), granddaughter Elise Money-Nolan (TJ), grandson Paul Money, great-grandson Liam Money-Nolan, as well as many other relatives and friends who will miss him dearly. He was preceded in death by his father and mother and his brothers and sisters.
Those who knew Mac will remember his love of family, his willingness to help his friends, his conviction about his beliefs, and his ability to fix just about anything. His legacy of love, integrity, and generosity will continue to inspire all who were fortunate enough to know him.
Though he is no longer with us, Mac’s memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him. He now rests in the arms of the Savior, free from pain and sorrow, rejoicing in the presence of the Almighty.
A memorial service will be held on Thursday, June 4th at 2pm in the Chapel at First Baptist Church of Opelika. Family and friends are invited to attend and celebrate his life. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be made to First Baptist Church of Opelika Choir Fund.
