Avannupo, it is not typically acceptable to refer to women in encyclopedic articles by their first names, see Wikipedia:Writing about women#Use surnames. As there is little to no discussion of her ex-husband in this article, there is unlikely to be confusion that the surname would refer to him. If he were discussed, you could use his first name to differentiate between the two. As I find reverting without discussion pretty incivil, I'd be interested in your thoughts. Thanks.

There are reasons why she and her daughter Keri removed the name Greeves. If you don't want to use Jeri, then perhaps just use a descriptor? Avannupo (talk) 19:02, 19 July 2019 (UTC)AvannupoReply
Thanks for the reply Avannupo, in that case it seems like "deadnaming", i.e. insisting on calling someone a name that has been legally rejected. Would it be problematic to refer to her by Fuller until the name change took place? I find repeated use of she to be distracting in text, but others may disagree.

Sure, that's fine. Avannupo (talk) 21:31, 19 July 2019 (UTC)AvannupoReply
