MABEL FULTON Obituary
Mabel G. Fulton, age 90, passed away peacefully Friday, July 24, 2009 at the Christiana Hospital.
Mabel was born in Mendenhall, PA and was the daughter of the late John and Sydney Griffith. She graduated from Kennett High. Mabel worked for DuPont as a secretary, retiring after 30 years of service. In her spare time, she enjoyed traveling the U.S. with her husband and family, playing cards with friends, and helped in fundraising efforts for the Yorklyn Community Pool, but her greatest joy in life was having her family over for Sunday dinner.

Fulton, Jr.; children, Ronald Alexander, James Alexander, Sandra Sue Steggell, Gary Fulton, Victoria "Bo" Cicione, and Brian Fulton; grandchildren, Debbie, Mark, Lisa, Paula, Susan, Geoffrey, John IV, Stephanie, Jessica, and Brian; and great-grandchildren, Taylor, Laura, Alex, Brett, Casey, Paige, Mark, Collin, and Jenna.
