Laura Allison Foster

Laura Allison Foster, age 53, of Falls Church, VA died peacefully on December 16, 2015 after a long illness with her twin sister by her side. She is preceded in death by her father, Milton H. Foster and mother, Jeanne A. Foster. She is survived by her sister, Linda Beaty and her husband, James; her beloved niece and nephew, Lauren Beaty and James "Jaime" Beaty; great-niece, Mikayla Osborne; step-mother, Bettie Foster, and many relatives and friends.

Laura worked for 21 years as a business analyst supporting the Department of Defense health affairs. She was well respected and liked by everyone she encountered. Her kind and generous nature will be missed by those she touched. Laura loved Mickey Mouse which showed her youthful zest for life. Her giggle was infectious and she loved silly jokes, "A man walked into a bar…..OUCH" still makes people laugh. Laura's family will remember her as a wonderful, loving and caring daughter, sister, aunt, and friend.

A celebration of her life will be held at a later date. Memorial contributions may be made in Laura's memory to St. Jude Children's Research, www.stjude.org.
