Jennifer Fulford Obituary
July 26, 1968-January 18, 2016
Lamorinda
Jennifer was born in Walnut Creek to Jim and Julie Fulford and grew up in Moraga. She is survived by her parents; her sister, Leigh and brother in law, Neil Kjeldsen; nephew, Daniel; niece, Anna; and aunt, Barbara Fulford.
Although born with Down Syndrome, Jennifer was blessed to live a very independent life until she developed Alzheimer's disease four years ago. She was a graduate of Miramonte High School and lived in Walnut Creek and Lafayette. She enjoyed TV, movies, and music.
Her family would like to thank all the teachers, social workers, job coaches, caregivers, Kaiser staff and hospice, San Miguel Villa, and friendly people she knew during her lifetime. A special thank you to all LOPC members who were always ready for a chat or a warm hug. Jennifer always had a ready smile and felt welcomed by many people.
A celebration of her life will be held at Lafayette Orinda Presbyterian Church (LOPC), 49 Knox Drive, Lafayette, CA 94549, February 20 at 10:00 AM. In lieu of flowers gifts in Jennifer's memory can be made to the Lafayette Orinda Presbyterian Church Foundation or to the Contra Costa ARC, 3021 Grant Street, Concord 94520

My heart just sank as I stumbled upon this news years later after Jennifer's passing. Having Jennifer as a good friend for many years was a joy. She was always positive, kind, & fun-loving. We shared Birthday celebrations together, watched weekly TV series (Melrose Place I think), & she attended my wedding. I have thought about her often and feel badly that we lost touch years ago. I will always have fond memories of her and your family . Hugs to all of you! Aimee (Bone) Padden

I will always remember the cutest little girl in my sons class - and a teenager so very full of life. But I also remember and admire the family that so loved her and allowed her to become the independent being that she was.
God be with you all during this time of loss. May the memories sustain you.

I remember fondly her birthday parties. All of us would dance and sing together. As a youngster, she loved the movie Sixteen Candles, which we would watch for her birthday, year after year.
I considered her a dear friend.

In my mind's eye, Jennifer was always a smiling, cheerful presence on the LOPC campus. She had dignity, but was warm and open. My heart breaks with you for the suffering she, and you, endured these past several years. I pray you find comfort in the peace that knows no understanding.
