June 8, 1933 – October 26, 2018
Patricia (Spencer) Ruth Foster, Sheridan, was called home to glory on Friday, Oct. 26, 2018, following a very blessed life. She was born June 8, 1933 in Indianapolis to Modessa (Briggs) and Ralph Spencer.
Patricia graduated from Sheridan High School in 1951 where she met the love of her life, Larry Foster. Following graduation, Patricia and Larry were married on January 20, 1952. Patricia was a stay-home mom until she began to work at Sears and later Indiana Farmers.
Larry and Patricia were very active members of the Sheridan Wesleyan Church where she was a music leader for many years.
In retirement, Larry and Pat spent their winters in Naples, Fla. Patricia became a teaching assistant at Child’s Path (Naples, Fla.) which she enjoyed for 20 years. She loved singing in the Naples First Baptist Church choir especially singing the “Living Christmas Tree” every winter.
Those left to cherish her memories are her children: Victoria (Randy) Kemmeling, Crystal Lake Ill.; Debra (Robert) Curfman, Sheridan; seven grandchildren: Christen (Dennis) Quakenbush, Cicero; Brittney (Matt) Hensley, Cicero; Stephanie (Nicholas) Millspaugh, Noblesville; Spencer (Katie) Kemmeling, Charleston, S.C.; Amanda Kemmeling, Algonquin, Ill.; Alex (Emily) Kemmeling, Penn Valley, Calif.; Paige (Nicholas) Cortez, Round Lake Park, Ill.; her 12 great-grandchildren: Henry, Paul, George and Charles Quakenbush, Cooper, Mia, and Jude Hensley, Faith Millspaugh, Adeline and Barrett Kemmeling, Evianna Cortez and Bogan Kemmeling, along with her brother, Jim (Sue) Spencer, Crawfordsville, Ind.
Patrica was preceded in death by her husband of 59 years, her parents, and brother, Tom Spencer.
Patrica leaves behind a legacy of being a woman of faith who constantly held up her family and friends to God: Praying for their safety, health and most importantly their personal relationship with Jesus.
