Mrs. Mary B. Foster

June 6, 1951 - March 10, 2021

Mary Theresa Baumgartner Foster was a caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She was born to Frank and Dorothy Baumgartner on June 6, 1951 in Decatur, Georgia. After graduating from St. Joseph’s high school, she put herself through college at Georgia State and joined the GBI where she met her husband, Bob Foster. Together, they had 3 children, Leigh, Robin and Geoff. Mary loved hosting family, and enjoyed the sound of children running around at her house and banging on the piano in the living room. She was a woman of the Lord, committed to prayer and service, always seeking to meet the needs of others. If you ever walked into the doors of her home, you were welcomed with warmth and love and she most likely insisted on sending you home with to-go food and dessert. She loved going on neighborhood walks with her dear friends, and enjoyed tennis with her Alta team. She lit up with pride watching her grandchildren play sports, perform in recitals and even in helping her oldest granddaughter, Kayla, learn how to drive! An in person funeral service is scheduled for 2PM on March 15, 2021 at St. Peter Chanel Catholic Church in Roswell, GA. It will be live streamed as well. Mary is survived by her husband, Bob Foster. She was a loving mother to Leigh Parlier, Robin Scheiwe and Geoff Foster. She welcomed with love, Ben Parlier, David Scheiwe & Stephanie Foster as in-laws into her family. She was a proud Mae Mae to eight grandchildren: Dylan Parlier (13), Ariel Osteryoung (14), Cameron Parlier (9), Kayla Scheiwe (16), Makenzie Scheiwe (7), Kelsea Scheiwe (4), George Foster (4) and Lewis Foster (2). She is survived by her siblings Joe Baumgartner, Jim Baumgartner, Tommy Baumgartner and Ann Baumgartner Ortstadt. She is preceded in death by Frank M. Baumgartner (father) Dorothy English Baumgartner (mother) and Frank L. Baumgartner (brother).
