Ada Jo (Chambers) Foster Obit

Jo was a lifelong area resident. She attended Burneyville school until the 10th grade and then moved to Marietta where she attended school. Jo played on the basketball team and met her high school sweetheart, William Lewis Foster. They married on May 30, 1953 in Shady Dale, OK and they moved to Ardmore, OK for 19 years where they raised their four children. In 1972, they moved to Marietta where Jo worked for Gary Rankin Insurance Agency until they purchased Love County Ford in January of 1986 where she worked until retirement in November of 1997.

Jo and Lewis watched all kinds of sports of their children and grandchildren, trying hard not to miss a game. She enjoyed watching sports on TV with Lewis. Some of her favorite teams are the Golden State Warriors, OKC Thunder, Dallas Mavericks, OU Sooners, Dallas Cowboys, and the Texas Rangers. Sitting on her porch swing and planting flowers were favorite pastimes. Jo loved to go shopping with Lisa and listening to Neil Diamond and attending his concert in April of 2017. She loved her Sunday school class and her church, First Baptist Church of Marietta, where she had been a member since 1972.
