Mrs. Foster

Mrs. Virginia Teems Foster, age 81, of Cedartown, Georgia, passed away on Tuesday evening, June 5, 2018 with her loving family by her side.

She was born on Feb. 12, 1937 in Cedartown to her parents, the late Grady Teems, Sr. and Hazel Kelly Teems.

In addition to her parents, she was also preceded in death by the love of her life, her husband, Mr. James W. Foster Sr. in 2014. Mrs. Foster went home to be with her heavenly family and our Lord on the exact date of their anniversary, of some 64 years.

A very loving person, Mrs. Foster took great pride in caring for people and helping them in any way that she could. She absolutely adored her family and friends and was a longtime member of the Second Baptist Church of Cedartown.

Children and helping children seemed to be her special calling in her younger years. She always considered herself as a servant to the community and she was first employed at the Historic Third Street School, which was located in the Goodyear Village.

Mrs. Foster later went on to continue serving with the Polk School District as an Administrative Assistant and Secretary for a number of Principals at the Purk’s Junior High School.

Following her retirement from the school district, Virginia’s talents and skills of being a “people person” were yet again enlisted. This time Cedartown Police Chief W.M. Moss called upon her in time of need, and utilized her talents and services in the Police Departments front office.

Mrs. Foster was very gifted with the ability to adapt to just about anything that came along in the agency and while hired as an administrative assistant, often times served as departmental secretary, she often times covered shifts as a communication’s officer and occasionally served as a matron to the police officers should an unruly female prisoner be brought in.

She later retired from the City of Cedartown but her legacy of caring continued on. Watching over James, the children and the grandchildren, who she solely devoted her life and love to.

Mrs. Virginia Teems Foster is survived by her son and daughterin-law, James “J.P.” Foster Jr. and his wife Sherri; her daughter and sonin-law, Reba Ann Foster Roberts and her husband Dave; her grandsons, Matt Foster, Zach Foster and Gabe Foster; her granddaughters, Jessica Hubbard and her husband Jordan and Rebecca Roberts York and her husband to be Andrew; her sisters, Shirley Boyles and Reba Payne; her brother, Grady Teems Jr. and his wife Karen; her brother-in-law and sisterin-law, James and Frances Edge and a sister-in-law, Sue Groves.
