Betty loved the Lord and was over the moon to be called Grandma Foster or Nana. She loved caring for her family, was very giving and was always thinking of others. When Betty rode the bus, she always met someone new. She enjoyed crocheting, singing and reading her Bible.

I have countless cherished memories of Aunt Betty. She was more than family - she was a mentor, firm, yet loving, always supportive, compassionate, honest, and a prayer warrior. As a child, I looked forward to her spaghetti and homemade biscuits. Her warm and infectious smile could brighten any day. Whenever I was in need of prayer or encouragement, she was one of the first people that I contacted. I’m going to truly miss her presence. With Aunt Betty‘s passing, the world feels a little less bright. Tanya W Thorpe

I am very sorry to hear of Grandma Foster's passing. She was a great, kind neighbor for many years. Grandma Betty was so accepting and tolerant of the kids in the neighborhood playing. Grandma Betty exuded loving gentleness; always patient and gracious. I wish you all peace and light during this time. You are in my heart. I am so very sorry for your loss

Scott, Andrea and Family's, I'm sooo sorry to hear about your Mother. She was always gracious and had the most beautiful soul. I have missed her smile and how she would say my name. Loosing a parent is one of the hardest things we will go through in life. My Mom's been gone since 1988, and there are days I still grieve like it was yesterday. Let that grieving out, don't hold it in. I pray that God continues to give you peace knowing that she is resting with other family and in the presence of God. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Nichole Green(Nicki Mills)
