Sidney Robert Fulcher was born in Norwich, England on February 21st, 1924 to Robert and Maude Fulcher. Sidney served proudly in the British Armed Forces during World War II. Sidney married his beloved wife in 1943 and they were married for 76 years. A few short years after they were married he lead his family to Minnesota where they settled down and made a home in St. Paul and later Maplewood. He was Promoted to Glory on March 9th, 2020 at the age of 96.
Sidney was a "yes dear" servant to others and loved to make people laugh and spread the hope and joy he received from his Lord and Savior. He loved being with people and would seek people out and spend hours listening and talking with them; always ready with a story or joke. He enjoyed knowing what was going on in the lives of those around him and would pray daily for those he loved. He was active in The Salvation Army from a young age and spent many years playing in the band and singing in the songsters as one of the few in his family with the musical ability to do so. His joy and hope came from his constant communion with God and he wished, as Romans 15:13 states, "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope."
Sidney Fulcher was the treasured husband of the late Iris Fulcher; faithful father to Miriam Hall (late husband Keith Hall), Keith Fulcher (wife Margaret) and Rosemary Schuh (formerly Setterstrom; husband Steve). Sidney was the steadfast grandfather to 7 grandchildren and an inspiring great-grandfather to 19 great-grandchildren. Sidney was the loyal brother to his three sisters Olive, Violet and Margaret, and would always let everyone know he had a twin brother, Stanley (all deceased); and an admired uncle to his kindhearted nieces and nephews. He was a dedicated husband, father, brother, grandfather and friend who had meaningful relationships with those around him and never stopped showing his kind and gentle spirit.
