Margaret Foster

August 19, 1924 - September 2, 2021

Margaret Foster, 97, of St Petersburg, passed away peacefully September 9, 2021. She was always a Vermonter first though she lived in her Jasmine Circle home in Florida for 62 years. She was married to Ray D Foster for over 60 years. She was affectionately known as Mama Margie to many of her younger friends, as she always knew the right thing to do or say to make the lives much easier for the many who loved her dearly. She was the soft place for us to fall. She was legendary for her conversant knowledge of black and white movies, the stars, and plots of which she loved to share. And now, whenever we see those movies, she will always be remembered. Her quick wit and sharp comments let you know she was always in on many of the schemes her daughter and friends were devising. Yet, she let us maneuver, allowing us to learn. Her dry sense of humor kept us on our toes. If you were lucky enough to know her, you were truly blessed. She seemed to always know the punch line to our many jokes. She loved to dress up, dance and have a great time. Margie was always dressed beautifully, no matter where she was going or what the occasion. She was church secretary at the Church of Transfiguration for around 30 years and kept Father Mulligan and Father Bolger in line. Another skill Margie possessed was being an excellent navigator. While riding in a car with her, she could always tell you which way to go and what had been in specific places twenty years ago. She was often called upon to settle a foggy recollection of one memory or another. Margie never seemed to age through the years and was always ready to do anything the “kids” wanted to do, no matter how questionable. We know she is dancing with the angels in heaven right now. Until we meet again…
