Granny lost her parents at an early
age. She was raised by family
in Mississippi until she moved to
California and became a nurse.
There she met her prince charming,
John G. Foster “Poppy”.
Granny and Poppy were married on June 25, 1960 in Winnemucca,

the younger loves of their lives, their wonderful son, Ronald Foster and
their beautiful daughter, Jacquieline Sawyer.

an amazing generous lady. She loved to cook. Her biscuits and gravy
will be very missed as well. They retired to a small farm in Grand Junction.
Granny loved to go on adventures with Poppy. She enjoyed spending
time with her family, fishing, camping and quiet rides through the
mountains.
