Wilma Foster

Wilma Hettie Foster (Granny) was born on April 28, 1923 to James and Mittie Burnham in Crystal Springs, Mississippi. Granny lost her parents at an early age. She was raised by family in Mississippi until she moved to California and became a nurse. There she met her prince charming John G. Foster (Poppy). Granny and Poppy were married on June 25, 1960 in Winnemucca, Nevada. In 1969 they relocated to Colorado. They were blessed with the younger loves of their lives. Their wonderful son Ronald Foster and their beautiful daughter Jacquieline Sawyer. Granny worked as a nurse at Mesa Memorial and Hospice. She was an amazing generous lady. She loved to cook. Her biscuits and gravy will be very missed as well. They retired to a small farm in Grand Junction. Granny loved to go on adventures with Poppy. She enjoyed spending time with her family, fishing, camping and quiet rides through the mountains.
