Born September 28, 1925, to Richard F. Gibson and Tera Smith Gibson. Mrs. Foster’s life was a life of service to her Lord and Savior, Family, Community, and her church, Central Baptist Church. The doors of her home were as wide open as the door of her heart. Her home welcomed family, friends and neighbors. Mrs. Foster’s service to her Lord and her church was a joy to her life. She served in the nursery, where every baby became one of hers. As a Sunday School teacher, every young lady in her
class was nurtured and loved. She loved recalling memories of them. She was involved in the Mission Outreach of the church through the Women’s Missionary Union (WMU). She participated in Mission trips that the church planned.
One of her largest Mission fields was Foster’s Chevron Service Station, where she worked with her beloved husband, J D, for over thirty years. She took every opportunity to witness for the Lord with customers. She would ask them if they had a church home. If they didn’t, she always invited them to Central Baptist Church. Her generosity, along with her husband, was immeasurable.
She was, also, a member of the Pilot Club International.
In 1942 she married the love of her life, J D Foster. This marriage would be blessed with a daughter, Berenda, two sons, Dale and Chester (Mary), grandchildren, Brad Berry (Julia), Jill Berry Guy, Mike Foster (Miranda), James Foster (Traci), Robin Rath (Gary), and Kim Lee (Bo); great grandchildren, Loren (Brady), Mollie (Nico), Lilly, Jadi, Ava, Wyatt, Andrew, Maddux, Julie, Luke, Liza, Emma, Gracie (Ryan) and Tyler (Lauren), and great great grandchildren, Bradyn, Avery, Caleb, Camilla, Wyatt, and Madigan. Her family was her earthly treasure
and they knew her love for them.
