She attended several schools in Detroit, MI and later graduated from high school in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She loved to work and help people and was very industrious as a certified "Medical Assistant". But, out of all the work that she engaed herself, nothing was more gratifying to her than working for her Great- God Jehovah. She willingly devoted her young life by being baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses January 14, 1983. This afforded her the precious opportunity to share her faith with others through the pioneer ministry and by letting her "light shine" day-by-day.

Kenyatta was such a beauty, and well-rounded girl. She loved to cook, and she was good at it. She enjoyed watched football especially the Pittsburgh Steelers (Big Ben). Ken loved music, reading and studying her Bible. She always had a thirst for spiritual knowledge. Ms. Foster truly was a lover of people who loved and appreciated the warm companionship of the brotherhood and always eagerly anticipated the going to Jehovah's house to impart a spiritual gift to others whether it be at the Belleaire Woods or the North Congregation. She touched so many lives with her love, her sweetness, wisdom, bright personality with that million dollar smile which was so full of life!
