Eula Foster Obituary

Eula (Therrien) Foster, 91, of Bristol, widow of Cecil C. Foster, passed away peacefully at home on January 5, 2023. Born on December 9, 1931 in Middlesex, VT, she was a daughter of the late James and Ethel (Morey) Therrien. Eula was a teacher in the Bristol Public School system for over thirty years. She had been a member of the Asbury United Methodist Church in Forestville since 1953 and has been very dedicated to her church family since then. She enjoyed traveling North America with her husband and would stop at various antique stores to peruse their collections of antiques. Eula enjoyed time with her family; hosting family dinners and spending time listening to her children's and grandchildren's stories and telling them of her own adventures. Eula is survived by her son and daughter-in-law Cecil and Janet Foster of Bristol, VT; her daughters and sons-in-law Debra Foster-Brunst and her husband George Brunst of Pompano Beach, FL and Heidi Borkowski and her husband Gardner Wright of Bristol, CT; her grandchildren Dr. Elizabeth Kellett (Jeremy), Jordan Brunst (Becca), and Andrew Foster (Samantha); her great grandchildren Cecilia, Anne, Jeremy Jr., Eleanora, Theodore, and Wyatt and several nieces and nephews. Eula was predeceased by one sister and eight brothers. Eula's family would like to extend a very special thank you to the staff at Bristol Health Homecare and Hospice for their wonderful care of Eula. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 14th, at 10am at Asbury United Methodist Church, 90 Church Ave., Forestville. Burial will be private and there are no calling hours. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Asbury United Methodist Church, Book of Remembrance, 90 Church Ave., Forestville, CT 06010.

Eula and Cecil were close friends of my parents and I remember them both fondly from the many times they visited our home. As I reflect back on those visits many years later, I grow increasingly impressed by so many things, such as what a well matched, loving couple Eula and Cecil were. They were both clever, funny, thoughtful, and generous. Most of all, they were genuinely kind and caring friends who personified a unique northern New England charm. The deep friendship my parents shared with Eula and Cecil was a thing of beauty that anyone would aspire to have in their life. Eula was one of very few who made the time to visit with my father after he was institutionalized with dementia, for which I'll be always grateful. Foster and Therrien families, my deepest condolences for your loss. It is said that noone dies as long as the people who loved them live, and in that sense Eula and Cecil will continue to live in the many, many hearts they tenderly touched for a long, long time.

To Cecil, Debbie, Heidi and your families: my heartfelt condolences to you on the loss of your mother and grandmother.

Aunt Eula will be missed by so, so many people. She had a very fulfilling life and unselfishly gave her time in helping others. She will be remembered for many years to come. She will definitely be amongst the other angels in Heaven. Rest in peace Aunt Eula.

Eula was the last remaining sister of my Father David. Every year the families would all get together and meet at the gravesite of their parents and again in late July for the family reunion. She was always a hoot and everyone that knew her always had a fond memory or story to tell . We all are going to miss her that´s for sure. They are all reunited once again. RIP your job here is done.
