Patricia Lenore Foster
1929 - 2012
It is with great regret and sadness that the Foster family must announce the passing of our wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother Patricia Lenore Foster on June 23, 2012 at Red Deer, Alberta. Pat passed away peacefully at the Red Deer Regional Hospital following a brief illness after having visited one last time with her loved ones. Pat and her husband Norm lived in Okotoks from 1954 – 1982 then retired to Chemainus, B.C. on Vancouver Island. They then moved to Ashcroft where Pat was an avid part of the community and spent the better part of her time tending to her huge garden. They stayed in Ashcroft for the better part of 19 years and recently moved to the town of Olds. Pat finished her working career teaching at Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School after having been a teacher at the Okotoks High School for many years. Pat was predeceased by her sons Bob in 2001 and Dave in 2002. She leaves behind her husband of 63 years Norm, her sons Mike (Marsha) and Gord, her daughter Cheryl (Jack). She also leaves 9 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. As per Pat’s wishes there will not be a service. In lieu of flowers the family asks that well wishers make a donation to either the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Canadian Diabetes Society in memory of Pat. Heartland Funeral Services Ltd.
