Richard Foster Obituary

Visit the Puckett Funeral Home, Inc. website to view the full obituary.

Richard Keith Foster, a beloved son, brother, husband and grandfather, whose life was marked by service and family, passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 30, 2025 at the age of 60.

He was born on August 13, 1965 and grew up in the Farmville area and attended school in Cumberland. Keith dedicated his life to serving his country, retiring after a remarkable 34 year career with the National Guard, serving in both full time and reserve capacities. His long standing commitment to his duty and his fellow soldiers was a testament to his character.

Keith is survived by his mother Eloise Foster, his sister Jessica Bryant (Toby) along with her children Willa and Finn, his brother Steve Foster and his son Lee and Keith’s wife of 38 years Margie. He was the cherished father to his daughters Samantha Johnson (fiancé Whit Pollard) and Amanda Foster Winfree (James), Keith’s adopted son Travis Brooks. His memory will live through his 12 twelve grandchildren, Landon, Xion, P.J. Johnson; Bryan Lascollette, Joshua Matos, Addison Winfree, Aubree Winfree, Emma Winfree, Vick Winfree and Amari Brooks.

A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
