In Celebration of

Susan Ann Fulford

October 16, 1963 -  April 22, 2021

LL.B M.BA F.E.A. TEP

Adoring mother to Harrison James Fulford, beloved daughter of David (deceased 2016) and Barbara Fulford, dear sister of Gary (deceased 2011) and wife Christine, Gail Cornelius, and Janet Dava Fulford.

Susan passed at fifty-seven years on April 22, 2021, after nine months of gallantly fighting her second bout (2011) of cancer. Her desperate plea to be with her 14-year-old son for just another Birthday was denied. Hope on the horizon suddenly vanished when tests revealed cancer had invaded her brain. In life, Susan was enchanted with the opportunities the world offered. She wanted to learn and explore every avenue from skiing, sailing, to a Formula One driver, to learning Reiki, to travelling the world, to living in France for two years, to volunteering for numerous support groups all her life. January 2020 she was named Breast Cancer Ambassador. Her work history reflects a broad experience in investment, legal, and family business. For over ten years Susan worked in the investment industry, most notably as VP & Senior Manager of Ultra High Net Worth Advisory Group of TD Bank. Initially, she spent 5years working as a lawyer in private practice followed by ten years in the business world including 2yr. engagement for Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu as Europe’s Business Development Mgr. for audits Globe Financial Service Industries. In 2015 she founded Dynamic Legacy. She was devoted and enthused by it, and her belief in the need of this assistance was attested by the number of interested families. She has provided collaborative and independent advisory services for Single, Multi, and Global Family Offices and Business Families. The value of this type of assistance was her passion and in 2016 she established The Institute of Family Enterprise Stewards. Above all these pursuits Susan’s life-driving force and number one priority was to provide her son with all the love and opportunities to develop and achieve his potential and desires. She introduced him to her world of wonderment, of seeking, of learning, of humanity. To quote Lord Byron “she walks in beauty like the night”. Susan personified beauty and harmony of mind and body. In body she has left us. In mind she is unforgettable and a driving, inspiring, loving source. And we will love thee still until all the seas run dry.

Due to Covid restrictions, a private service will be held.

In lieu of flowers, a donation to Princess Margaret Lymphoma Bone and Brain Research would be appreciated.

I only knew her through her loving sister's admiration and respect. Her seemingly endless fight near the end was inspiring, encouraging, and instructive to those of us who have also received a cancer diagnosis. I wish I had the opportunity to meet her, but her destiny unfolded as destinies will do. I know her loss will have a lasting impact on her family and loved ones. She will be greatly missed, but not forgotten.

Some of us choose to believe she has been freed of her earthly body and her soul is now embraced by her loving father in heaven. Surrounded with beauty, peace, and unending, unconditional love. Her spirit will always watch over her family and loved ones and the example of her life will challenge us all to live better, be better, and cherish every one of the numbered moments, we have on this transitory planet.

I am so deeply saddened to hear of this news. Susan and I have been friends since high school and we kept in touch over the years. After a gap of a few years, we met for coffee at the same she was fighting through her breast cancer. Could not get over how positive and optimistic her attitude was toward beating the cancer. Which she did. This stuck with me every time we spoke. I actually saw her at a function one week prior to the COVID pandemic announcement and Susan was being Susan - she owned the room leaving a trail of smiles. So it was with great shock that I heard of her passing. My thoughts go out to Harrison and to the entire Fulford family. I'm so sorry for your loss.
