Georgia Foster
Evans, GA – Entered into rest Sunday, May 21, 2017, Georgia Rice Foster, 81, loving wife of George H. Foster, Sr.
Family members, in addition to her husband, include children: Pam Orth (John), Debbie Horeyseck (Lee), Cindi Hennigan (Dan), Mary Garnto (Steve), George Foster, Jr. (Jean), Geoff Foster (Kara); grandchildren: Jeff and Chris Orth, Amy Morton, Richard Sampson, Andrew Mahaffey, Jason and Bryan Hennigan, Taylor Heffern, John Patrick Foster, Lauren Seagraves, Emily Martin, Michael and Brett Foster; Nine great grandchildren; brother: Mark Leopold. She was predeceased by her sisters: Dotsie and Betsy.
Mrs. Foster was a native of San Antonio, TX, and attended Incarnate Word High School. She resided in Evans, GA where she raised her family. She worked in administration at MCG for the School of Nursing. Mrs. Foster was Assistant Director of the Permanent Deaconate Program for the Diocese of Savannah.
She was a military wife who raised six children while George served his 24 years in military service…no small feat! While he was in charge of the Diaconate program in the Savannah Diocese for 40 years, there was Georgia, again at his side helping him and preparing other wives for their roles with their husbands ministry. With a big family, the Army, the Church, no wonder she was a great cook who always made enough for the whole neighborhood. No wonder she always made everyone feel like family and no wonder with their close partnerships throughout all aspects of life that George and Georgia were married 64 years.
A funeral Mass will be celebrated on Friday, May 26, 2017 at 11:00 A.M. at St. Teresa of Avila Catholic Church.
Memorial contributions may be made to St. Vincent DePaul Health Center or to Good Samaritan Respite Center: 2110 Broad Street, Augusta, Georgia 30904
