| The Daily Courier, Prescott, Arizona Sunday, July 28, 2016, page 9a Dorothy LaRayne Foster arrived on this earth on January 30, 1922 in Wahpeton, North Dakota. She made her gracious and peace filled exit on August 11, 2016, in Prescott, Arizona. She was anxious to see her son, Lynn Rehm, her beloved spouse Eddie Foster, her sister Aly and all of the friends and family who awaited her. She was known by family and friends as “mom,” “grandma,” “Dorie” and “Dorothy.” And, by all of us as very very funny. Mom wasn’t a jokester she was a quipster. She had a funny comeback or line for every situation. She was an artist, the queen of cookie baking, and a brilliant learner. While her formal education was limited her informal education was boundless. She read incessantly and reflected on what she read. She complimented the women and men who brought her medication and food, overtly appreciated their kindness, and told them they were loved. Those of us still standing on the earth serve as her legacy. We honor her by committing ourselves to follow her example of appreciating the gift of life, laughing often and loudly, and loving openly and generously. She asked that, rather than flowers, contributions of food and blankets be given to the homeless. Information provided by survivors. |
