  2. My sincere condolences to her family. Mr. and Mrs. Foster were customers at my fathers gas station many years ago. Sam passed away far to soon. The Fosters were delightful people and I have clear memories of them. They will be missed.

  3. It has been many years since I last saw Edwina but what memories I still have of her involvement with the Girl Scouts at Bethel Baptist . I was the area GS chairperson and also had a troop. We shared some great times and you knew that the girls from her troops really loved her and were lucky to have her as their leader. I am sure that she stayed involved and left more lasting memories for many. Prayers to those that she has left behind—cherish all the memories. Rest In Peace Edwina.❤️
