After a long, hard, nearly six-year battle against an unrelenting illness, our superhero Hayden hung up her cape and left this world at the LHSC – Children’s Hospital, London (her home away from home) on Sunday, October 20, 2019 at the tender age of 7.
Much loved and one-of-a-kind daughter of Lindsay (Rawn) and Jonathan Foulon of London. Brave big sister and partner-in-crime of Harlow. Adored granddaughter of Wayne and Ruth-Anne Rawn of Mount Forest, and Remi and Debbie Foulon of Wallaceburg. Dear great-granddaughter of June Holliday of Mount Forest, and Mary Foulon of Wallaceburg. Grateful to call Hayden their niece are Jodie Rawn of Toronto, Brianne and Michael Petrina of Waterloo, and Stacey Foulon of Wallaceburg. Spirited cousin of Tristan, Kendall, Ryland, Cuyler, and Milo. Predeceased by her uncle Jeremy Foulon. Left behind to miss the ear scratches and the big kisses are Hayden’s dog Mitch and Stinson the cat.
While Hayden’s battle with leukemia often defined her, she was so much more than her illness and wanted nothing more than to be a kid. She loved going to school when she could and soaked up knowledge like a sponge. She spent hours planting flowers and collecting rocks at grandma & grandpa’s, and trying every possible new experience she could – from bowling and birthday parties to Disney and Niagara Falls. She loved SuperWings and Paw Patrol and was never far from her iPad, but could also spend hours outside on the swing or in the sandbox. She loved belting out the Beatles or Moana with the windows down while driving with mommy and had the best belly laugh this world has ever heard. And she loved nothing more than watching her best friend Mitch 1-6 play hockey (and created a new legion of Maple Leaf fans in the process!). She will be remembered for being easy to love, kind to her core, and someone who refused to quit.
Thanking everyone involved in Hayden’s cancer journey would be an impossible task, but we want to say a special thank you to Dr. Alexandra Zorzi, Julie Dowler, Lisa Pearlman, Ollie the Clown, Melissa Zurch, Karina Charczuk, Renee Simmons, and the Camp Ooch team – all of whom loved her like she was their own. And to our extended family in the Children’s Hospital PMDU and to Hayden’s favourite nurses and PSWs on the 6th floor (you know who you are), thank you for making our journey a little more bearable and treating our little girl as your own. You are all truly angels on earth.
“She will not be remembered for the years in her life but rather the life in her years”
A Celebration of Hayden’s life will be held at the Greek Canadian Community Centre, 965 Sarnia Rd., London on Sunday, October 27th from 1-4 PM with words of remembrance at 2 PM. Celebration entrusted to Cremation & Celebrations.
Those wishing to make a donation to support the creation of a Foundation in Hayden’s name to assist those travelling a similar road may do so with a cheque made payable In Trust to Lindsay Foulon. Alternatively, contributions to one of three amazing organizations doing inspiring work – Childcan, TLC Foundation, or the Marner Assist Fund would also be appreciated by the family.

This time of year always reminds me of you. How foolish I must of looked walking through the hospital as a big parade chicken but seeing the smile on your face when I walked in was truly priceless. I think of you often and smile. You are deeply missed kiddo. Continue to watch over everyone, sometimes we really need you to.

Kyleigh says
I only worked with Hayden a handful of times, but as a consolidating nursing student, those were my favourite shifts. She was wary of me because I was new, but I remember on her 6th birthday she and I played a bit and she smiled at me and that smile was worth all the money in the world. She brought joy wherever she was. I’m wearing my Mitch 1-6 wear in honour of Hayden today. I will never watch hockey without thinking of what a light she was. God broke our hearts when he took the best of us home to be with him. Heaven has gained an angel.
Liz and Steve Bujaki says
There are times when the right words just don’t exist. We have followed your journey through the highs and the lows and have often prayed for a miracle. Hayden was an incredible little girl and although her time on this earth was short, she touched many lives and showed us all the meaning of real courage, determination and grit. We hope that during this incredibly difficult time that you are surrounded by the love and support of family and all whose lives Hayden has touched.
With deepest condolences,

To the Foulon Family,
We didn’t know Hayden but we followed her battle and highs and lows. We were so very saddened to hear the news. The first image in my mind afterwards was seeing her little sweet self skipping through a field, picking flowers and humming along to a song in her head in the beautiful glow of the sun. I don’t know why, but perhaps that is what heaven is. Our heartfelt condolences to your family. She definitely was loved so very much by all those around her. You are in our thoughts.

There is no words to describe how I feel. This is not the way it was suppose to end. My dear Hayden has taught me so much. It was my pleasure to know and love her. I will never forget her strength, determination or her ability to change lives. I will never forget her. She has made me a better person just by knowing her. Her life on earth was a gift that I will always value. My heart is broken.

My heart aches for your loss. She was a Warrior, a princess, a sweetheart and the strongest kid I’ve ever seen. Watching your journey has been heart wrenching and so full of triumph and sorrow it can’t be imagined the magnitude and depth of emotion and courage this has taken. I wish deeply for you all to feel peace and comfort, and know that Hayden is indeed pain free, cancer free and full of LIFE in her new home kicking it with Jesus. I pray for sweet love and support to completely envelope you all and for supernatural strength in the trenches of grief. I send all the love and care I have and tender tears for your unimaginable loss. Xoxo

In the arms of the angels . Hayden’s smile would brighten any room she entered. Hayden’s love of life touched so many.

Ron & Wendy Denning says
They say Angels walk amongst us and Hayden was definitely proof of that… here on earth she was a strong warrior angel with an infectious smile that charmed us all who followed her journey on Facebook… And now that her courageous battle has come to an end, Hayden has most definitely earned her spreading white wings and flying high above in heaven as a courageous angel at peace, looking down on us with that infectious smile, that shall never be forgotten. And, Hayden’s cookbook will forever be a treasured keepsake for our family! Sending our sincere condolences , ❤️ and ((((((((HUGS)))))))) to the entire family. ????
Randi says
