Susan D. Fulkerson, age 57, beloved wife of Palos Heights Alderman Alan L. Fulkerson, and dear daughter of Donald and Barbara Dahl, passed away September 3, 2007, at St. Francis Hospital, Evanston, Illinois after battling breast cancer for many years. Born in Chicago on August 23, 1950, and raised in Oak Lawn and Palos Heights, Susan was a loving wife, devoted mother, and cherished daughter.
A graduate of Bradley University (BS), DePaul University (MSA), and a certified public accountant, Susan worked in the finance division of Panduit Corporation for the past decade. Her heart, however, was always in the classroom. Prior to working at Panduit, Susan taught accounting at Trinity Christian College for many years. During that time she mentored many young men and women, believing in them, inspiring them, remaining committed up through their placements, and counseling them even following graduation.
As an expression of their gratitude, in 2006 her former students created and endowed the Susan D. Fulkerson Scholarship. Susan was also actively involved in volunteer work for her city and church communities, serving in many roles and responsibilities, from Chairman of the City of Palos Heights Recreation Advisory Board to Sunday School Superintendent.
In addition to her husband and parents, Susan is survived by two loving sons, Geoffrey (Katherine) and Stephen, her sisters, Karen (Mark) Temple and Diane (Edwin) Maul, and her brother, Donald Jr. (Anne), and many nieces and nephews.
