Obituary: Jodi Lynne Fulmer

Jodi Lynne Fulmer passed peacefully on Nov. 21, 2024, at OHSU-ICU in Portland, Oregon. She was 54 years old when a brain aneurysm took her life.

Jodi was born July 17, 1970, in Winter Park, Florida. She graduated from West Orange High School in 1988 and from Rollins College, where she was a writing center director assisting master’s degree candidates in achieving excellent written expression and composition skills. Jodi loved reading and learning and was known to be the "quiet scholar" amongst her close family and friends.

Jodi had moved to Oregon more than 10 years ago and was a district manager and, as of recent, a store manager, for the Book Warehouse bookstore franchise. She was with the company for 20 years.

Jodi was well travelled through many of our states from Maine to Florida, North Carolina, California and Oregon, to name a few.

Jodi had also been to England, Italy and Reykjavik. Her knowledge in art history — taught by a well-known art historian who taught at West Orange High School — was a catalyst for Jodi to learn more about art, architecture and cultures abroad.

Jodi and her family enjoyed their time together traveling to local beaches and the Florida Keys and enjoying a family home in Windermere on Lake Butler where she enjoyed swimming and, most of all, working on her tan for the season.

Jodi was baptized and active in her church at the First United Methodist Church in Winter Garden. She was a Herald Choir member and a handbell player at the church, and she played the French horn with the Florida Symphony Youth Orchestra.

Surviving family include her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gloyce and Rebecca Fulmer; her brother, James “Jason” Fulmer; and her aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews of Windermere, Winter Garden, and within the Central Florida region. She is greatly missed by all.

Final arrangements officiated with Riverview Abbey Funeral Home, 319 S. Taylors Ferry Road, Portland, OR 97219, care of Tonya Witham; (503)-244-7577.
