Roberta was a long time member of the Jasper United Methodist Church where she played piano for church for many years, retiring from that role at the age of 90. She was also the church choir director, was involved with the Sunday School, and the Ladies Aide. Roberta was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary in Jasper and liked volunteering her time helping with bloodmobile drives. In her spare time Roberta liked to garden. She enjoyed going to ballgames that involved the local schools, and in later years watched all of the various Minnesota sports teams play. She will be remembered for the many cards she sent, gifts she gave, and special cut out cookies made for all of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a member of the clean plate gang; you couldn't leave the table until your plate was clean! Her many, many phone conversations and Facebook comments will be remembered and sorely missed.
Roberta is lovingly remembered by her children, Susan (Dana Miller) Foster of Centennial, CO, Stephen Foster of Luverne, MN, James (Neva) Foster of Ortonville, MN, Thomas (Carol) Foster of Luverne, and David (Becky) Foster of Jasper, MN; one daughter-in-law, Joyce Foster of Jasper; one sister, Mary Jackson of Chaska, MN; 16 grandchildren; 40 great-grandchildren; 13 great-great-grandchildren; and many other loving family and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Robert; one son, Mark Foster; one infant daughter who died at birth, Mary Jane Foster; one great-grandson, Brody Damman; and sisters, Helen Boesch, Anita Gilreath, Ramona Crawford, Dorothy Gage, Kathleen Deedrick, and Shirley Doolittle.
