Geraldine (Griffin) Foster, age 91, passed away peacefully at 4:37 AM on November 13, 2025. Born to Alta Jewel (Hawkins) Griffin and John Lee Griffin, Geraldine lived a long, full, and hardworking life devoted to family, faith, and service to others.
Geraldine was married to the love of her life, Bill L. Foster, who preceded her in death. Together, they built a beautiful family rooted in love, resilience, and strong values. She was the proud mother of five daughters and one son, and her legacy continues through her 12 grandchildren, 22 great-grandchildren, and 5 great-great-grandchildren, all of whom brought her immense joy.
She is survived by three sisters and one brother as well as her beloved children: Lynn (Propps) White, Carolyn (Propps) and Fred Lacey, Lisa (Foster) and David Foster, and Kim (Foster) and Mike Noose.
Geraldine was preceded in death by her parents; her husband Bill, four siblings, one son, one grandson, and one daughter, Christine (Propps) Colbourne, who she now joins in eternal rest.
Geraldine spent many years as a dedicated employee of Dayco Industries before retiring. Her passion for caring for others led her to continue working in various nursing homes well into her later years, serving her community with compassion until the age of 80. Her kindness, strength, and unwavering work ethic touched countless lives.
Geraldine will be remembered for her warm heart, her fierce love for her family, and her enduring spirit. Her memory will continue to live on through all who were blessed to know her.
May she rest in peace.
