Foster 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 five great-great-grandchildren, all of whom brought her immense joy.

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.
