James Anthony Foster

James Foster left this world to be with his heavenly Father on July 2, 2020. He can finally join his loving wife Doris, who left us in 2016. Born September 11, 1923, he was the son of the late Lyle and Masssie Foster. After WWII service in the Navy, James married his sweetheart Doris, and they became active members at the Elon Baptist Church. He was employed as a pattern maker at Lynchburg Foundry until his retirement.

In addition to his wife, James is survived by two daughters, Dale (Bennett) Foster, and Debbie (Butch) Keyes; four grandchildren Todd (Becky) Foster, Troy (Melanie Howard) Foster, Carrie (Brent) Doty, and Tori Foster; six great grandchildren Cameron (Kami), Peyton, Lily, Aviva, Eli, and Emma; one great-great grandbaby Elyza.

The family would like to extend their gratitude to all the loving caregivers at Commonwealth Senior Living, Christiansburg, VA.

At this time a private graveside service for the family will be held at Elon Baptist Church Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, consider a contribution in memory of James, to Elon Baptist Church, 145 Younger Drive, Madison Heights, VA 24572.
