September 4, 1926 - March 4, 2017
Marjorie was born in
Meeker, CO to Frank and Fay
(Templeton) Long on
September 4, 1926. She
passed away March 4, 2017,
at the Courtyard Care Center
in Fruita, CO. She was 90
years old.
She grew up and attended
school in the Meeker and the
Rio Blanco area until her
early teens, when the family
moved to Gateway, CO to
mine uranium.
While helping the family
mine on the Uncompahgre
Plateau, she attended and
graduated eighth grade at
Gateway. Shortly after this,
she met Robert Foster, whose
family was also mining
uranium. They were married
from December 7, 1944, until
his death in 1991. They spent
many years living in the mining camp on Outlaw Mesa and also
maintained a home in Grand Junction, where Marjorie would
take their children to go to school.
Marjorie was a licensed beautician and an accomplished
seamstress. She attended the First Church of God and the First
Assembly of God, and did volunteer work for both. She was
always ready to proclaim her love for Jesus and His message of
salvation.
She is survived by sons, Dalton (Shari) of Delta and Samuel
(Debby) of Fruita; daughter, Holly (Leon) Moores of Gateway;
and nine grandchildren, Ray Moores, Mandy Massey, Mindy
Smith, Julie Azcarraga, Andy Moores, Zachery Foster, Brielle
Foster, and Brynley Foster. She has 17 great-grandchildren,
with an eighteenth due to arrive within the next month. She has
numerous nieces and nephews. She is also survived by three
sisters-in-law, Mildred Larson of Oregon; Tookie Foster of
Grand Junction, and Sanna Foster of Boulder.
She was preceded in death by daughter, Georgia, and three
sisters, Elphie Harvey, Evelyn Hamrick, and Lois Foster.
