Born Dec. 13, 1929, in Atlanta, Ga., Foster was the daughter of Elizabeth and Dr. Jack Walker Jones; she never lost her Georgian accent. Foster married and moved to Texas in 1958 and raised her four children in Fort Worth.

Throughout her life, Foster was an avid reader, a frequent tennis player, an animal lover, and a continuous gardener, achieving her Master Gardener certification. She spent countless hours volunteering with the Fort Worth Nature Center, the Master Gardeners and serving on the board of the Friends of the Weatherford Public Library.

She was a wonderful mother and grandmother, a dear friend, and a dedicated volunteer, who will be missed by all. She was preceded in death by an infant son; her daughter, Fielding; and her sister, Elizabeth Langmuir.
