While in the military, he was blessed to have met his soon to be wife Edith Rosalee Burroughs. Thereafter, the couple moved to Baltimore, Maryland and was blessed with five beautiful children. Allen was a dedicated and devoted father, husband, and provider to his family. In his thirty-eight years of employment with Bethlehem Steel, he rarely missed a day of work.Allen was a faithful member of Mount Airy Apostolic Church and served as a musician for twelve years. It was at The Love of God Apostolic Faith Church where he was ordained as an Elder which led him to his calling to the street ministry. Because of his faithfulness and tenacity, Elder Fulwood was favored to host a radio outreach on WBGR which lasted a span of five years. Elder Fulwood was noted for his ministry and received acclaim through a local newspaper that highlighted his unique style of ministry.Preceding him in death was his devoted wife Edith Fulwood (daughter of Lenny and Molly Burroughs), and his four sisters, Mary, Hattie, Edna and Lollibell.Brother Fulwood leaves to cherish his memory: his two sons, Jimmy Fulwood and Al Fulwood; his three daughters, Brenda Fulwood, Bonnie Fulwood and Gail Williams Jackson; son-in-law, Nathaniel Jackson; ten grandchildren, twenty-grandchildren, and a host of nieces and nephews, other relatives and friends.Elder Fulwood loved spending time playing his guitar and building, fishing, calling his children while on his lunch break at work, telling stories of his past in the south and telling people about Jesus. His famous saying was, "When you told the man about Christ and there's no results, tell Jesus about the man."
