He served in the South Carolina Air National Guard. He was a retired administrator with the South Carolina Housing Authority. Foster loved volunteering with Historic Columbia and especially working the garden areas of the Robert Mills House.

Mary Elizabeth "Beth" Yarborough (Mike Fanning) of Williston; his good friend Joe Gravelyn and several nieces and nephews.

Foster Yarborough died in a four-vehicle crash in Lexington County on Wednesday, December 23, 2020. The collision occurred at 1:45 p.m. Wednesday on U.S. Highway 321 at the South Carolina State Farmers Market. A 2019 Dodge Charger struck the rear end of a 1999 Honda van. The Charger then crossed the median and struck Yarborough's 2019 Honda SUV head-on.
The Honda SUV went airborne and landed on a 2014 Chevrolet Suburban. Yarborough was wearing his seat belt at the time of the crash and was pronounced dead at the scene due to multiple traumatic injuries, the coroner's office said.
