A loving genuine, classy, kind and gentle spirit are just a few words to describe our beloved mother, sister, aunt and friend.  Born March 5, 1940, in Red Level, Florida.

Graduated from High School at the tender age of 16, she continued her education at Howard Academy Beauty School – Ocala, Florida and became a cosmetologist from 1956 to 1983.

She married the love of her life, George Foster, Sr., in 1970 and from this union three blessed children were born.  Her Christian experiences include receiving Christ at the age of 9 and rededicated her life at the age of 31.
