WILMA JANE FULTON Peacefully on October 25, 2013 at Grace Hospital. Wilma was born in Winnipeg on July 7, 1933 to William and Elizabeth. She met Andy on a blind date in 1950 and they married two years later. Mom worked as a bookkeeper for several businesses as well as volunteering her skills at the Kidney Foundation. She was a long serving envelope secretary for St. James Anglican Church where she worshiped for many decades. Mom proudly supported her sons in the Lord Selkirk, St. Andrew's and Winnipeg Police Pipe Bands. Predeceased by her loving husband of 58 years, Andy, and her sister Doreen, she is survived by sons John (Lynda) and Rob (Laura); granddaughters Amanda, Samantha and Laryssa; as well as many life long and new friends. The wonderful people of Sinawik Bay embraced mom over the past year and became like family to her. Her family extends a heartfelt thank you to the caregivers from Home Care, Grace Hospital Emergency and 3rd floor South. We are truly indebted to Dr. W. C. Schellenberg for his thoughtful and genuine concern for both mom and dad. St. James Anglican Church, 195 Collegiate St., will host a celebration of Wilma's life on November 2, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, a donation to a charity of one's choice would be appreciated.

  • We are so sad to hear about Wilma's passing. For many years, our family enjoyed visiting with Wilma and Andy (and family) at St. James Anglican church. My mother holds especially fond memories of having the Fultons and Wheatons over during the holidays when we were children (and curiously always on the heels of Santa's arrival). Our deepest condolences to the family. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Eva, Tracey, Terri and Jackie Evans - Posted by: Tracey Evans () on: Nov 26, 2013

  • Growing up around the Fulton family holds a great deal of fond memories. Wilma was like a second mother to me in those early years. I will always remember her smile, laugh and loving attitude to all those around her. She will be missed. P.S. My favorite memory involves dropping her son off at home one night somewhat intoxicated which was followed by a chance meeting between him and the kitchen fridge! You know what I mean Rob!
