DeLoris Foster

DeLoris Foster went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, October 29, 2011 in Commerce City, Colorado after a prolonged illness. She was residing in the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Teresa and C.J. Sharpless, at the time of her death. DeLoris was born on September 13, 1930, in the home of her parents near Gar Creek, north of Seminole, Oklahoma. DeLoris was a twin. She is survived by several brothers including her twin brother, DeLoyd McGehee, of Borger, Texas. DeLoris attended school at Red Mound and at Strother, Oklahoma. She married J.C. (James Charles) Foster on June 6, 1948. J.C. and DeLoris lived in several towns in central Oklahoma early in their marriage but eventually made their home in Lindsay, Oklahoma. Though they kept a home in Lindsay, they traveled extensively throughout the continental United States as J.C.?s career in the pipline industry took their family wherever the vast network of pipelines was constructed beginning in the 1960?s. DeLoris was a homemaker, a wonderful wife and mother and "Mimi? to her beloved grandchildren. She loved gardening flowers, fruits and vegetables and always had food and water out for the wildlife. Her needlework won prizes and her quilts were auctioned off to the lucky highest bidder at fund raising events for charities. DeLoris was a member of the Lindsay Church of Christ. DeLoris was a giving, caring person. Her life was devoted to those she loved. Her departure from this earth will be rejoiced by the angels but will leave an empty space in the lives of those she touched. DeLoris was preceded in death by her parents, Carl and Myrtle McGehee of Seminole, Oklahoma, her husband of 48 years, J.C. Foster; brothers, Harvey McGehee of Seminole, Oklahoma and Birt McGehee of Okemah, Oklahoma.
