Fulton, Julie Ann

New Glasgow, NS

October 28, 1959 - July 17, 2024


Julie Ann Fulton, 64, Egerton, passed away Wednesday, July 17, 2024, in the Aberdeen Hospital Palliative Care Unit, New Glasgow.

 

Born on October 28, 1959, in New Glasgow, she was a daughter of the late Robert Lawson and Marion Lorraine (MacDonald) Fulton.


Surviving are her partner of 20 years, Gerald Battist; children, Cameron, Michael (London), Gregory (Krista), Natalie and Lawson MacLane; grandchildren, Jade St. Pierre, Stella, Findlay and Eva MacLane; sister, Karen Fulton; brother, Rob (Nancy) Fulton; nephew and niece, Derek (Alison) and Alyson (Dave); aunts, Adelaide MacDonald and Betty Fulton; many cousins. 

 

Julie was raised in Halifax, where she attended Halifax West Hight School, graduating in 1978.  She completed her BBA in Marketing at Acadia University (1982).

   

Julie was the controller for Gerald Battist Trucking Limited, Truro Reload & Storage Limited and Straightline Stevedoring Limited as well as many other corporations over the years.  Her lifelong passion being horses, she founded Scotia Sport Horses, MacLane Quarter Horses, Fulton Performance Horses and Maxwelton Ranch. Julie was a breeder of Eventing, Hunter and Jumper horses, and had a natural gift for training and caring for her herd.  She was previously a director of the Canadian Warm Blood Association, served on the board of the American Quarter Horse Association and was actively involved in the former Pictou County Light Horse Club. 

   

Julie was a member of the Crossroads Breakfast Club and revelled in the many conversations of the “senate”.  Taking after her mother, Julie appreciated fashion and was always smartly dressed, greatly enjoying watching the fashions displayed during the Kentucky Derby and Spruce Meadows events. Besides horses, Julie was passionate about downhill skiing and was a member of the ski patrol during her university years. She enjoyed researching holistic medicine and applied the information she gathered to her everyday life.  While in high school, she played the baritone saxophone in a popular jazz band, which was invited to play at the Canadian National Exhibition. Julie had a “can-do” attitude, willing to tackle any challenge, never afraid to take a risk.  She possessed a wonderful sense of humour and could brighten a room with a flash of her warm smile. A determined, passionate and intelligent lady, who loved to entertain friends and family, Julie will be sorely missed by all who knew her and loved her.   


Donations may be made in Julie’s memory to the Canadian Cancer Society or a charity of choice.
