Josephine Mary Ann FULKS

FULKS, Josephine (Bubs) Mary Ann
Passed away on April 18, 2015 at the age of 95.
Bubs was born on October 25, 1919 in Fort Saskatchewan to Walter and Josephine Wood and she was raised in Radway. Bub joined the WRCNS in 1943 at Edmonton, and was sent overseas to Britain.
On October 13, 1950 Bubs married Bob and they made a home in Edgerton. They raised three children together. Their journey took them from Edgerton, to Killam and finally to Grande Prairie. They made lifelong friends in each place they lived. These friends and family were weekly recipients of her homemade bread and cinnamon buns.
She loved her family above anything else and would never say no whenever she was needed. Bubs thought of each person she came across as special and treated them as such. Her immense heart forgave, dispensed advice and listened without judgement.
Bob and Bubs found a new home at Wild Rose in 2004. Bubs's family are especially grateful to all her exceptional friends, too numerous to mention but too important not to acknowledge. We are so grateful mom had each one of you in her life. You made her life all the richer for it.
Doctor Pope, the nursing staff on 5 North, Grande Spirit staff, Wendy, all her "sons and daughters" at Homecare. Thank you. This does not express the gratitude we have for all the attentive care, thoughtfulness and love you gave to Mom.
Bubs is survived by her children: Jay (Mary- Ann) of Delta, BC, Kelly (Gary) Wrzosek of Sexsmith, and Leslie (Dan) Bell of Grande Prairie; her grandchildren: Alexis, Jori, Kelley Rae, Afton, Garret, Chris, Charity, Samantha, Leanne and nine great- grandchildren; nieces: Debbie (Ed) Skuba, and Sharon (Lorne) Ferguson. Bubs was predeceased by her husband Bob, parents, Walter and Josephine Wood, siblings, Walter, William, Mina West, Virginia Wood, brother-in-law Arne West, sister-in-law, Ann Stewart, nephew, Grant West.
