Roberta Maxine Foster

On September 16, 2024, Roberta Maxine Foster, 88, of George West, Texas, was completely healed from dementia and entered the kingdom of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She was greeted by her husband, Bud Foster; and her two children, Lisa Dianne and Charles Foster.

Maxine was born October 28, 1935, in Ardmore, Oklahoma, to the late William Haskell Sharp and Ivy Roberta (Lance) Foster and raised in California. She married Edgar C. “Bud” Foster on Oct. 1, 1954, in Azusa, California. She was the author of one novel and numerous amusing stories about cowboy life.
