Jesse A. Foster

Jesse A. Foster, age 81, went to be with his Heavenly Father, and his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, early in the morning Wednesday, August 17, 2016, surrounded by his family. Jesse's passions in life were living a godly life, loving and providing for his family, working with his hands, hunting and fishing and cheering for his favorite sports teams - especially his grandkids. He was an amazing carpenter and builder, and he was always making or fixing something for his family or friends. Jesse shared his life with Sally, his high school sweetheart and devoted wife of almost 63 years. They lovingly raised four children and warmly grafted their spouses into the family; Gayle Brakefield and her husband Art, Mark Foster and his wife Elaine, Paula Braley and her husband Jeff, and Susan McMaster and her husband Dean. He and Sally have been richly blessed and are a blessing to seventeen grandchildren, eighteen great-grandchildren (and counting), and three great-great-grandchildren. He is also survived by brothers Bob Foster and Chuck Foster, as well as aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Among those also awaiting Jesse in heaven were his beloved parents Clarence and Gayle Foster, Jesse A.
