She's the one who always lit up the room with her welcoming smile and kind words.

She's the one who worked hard all her life, even years beyond when everyone else retired.

She's the one who comforted so many when their loved ones were needing end-of-life care, as she worked for Solaris Hospice, earning Employee of the Year early on.

She's the one always looking out for others, trying her best to make their lives more comfortable, better.

At every family event, reunion, holiday, she's the one we always looked forward to seeing.

She's the one who raised four great boys, and had a hand in helping raise grandkids along the way.

She's the one whose door was always open, for anyone and everyone, never judgmental, always loving.

She's the one we will miss and remember.

Cora is survived by three sons and daughters-in-law: Cye Foster and wife Paula of Rhome, Texas, Jack Foster and wife Lea Anna of Stockton, Missouri, Ted Foster and wife Tracy of Newcastle, Texas; thirteen grandchildren, fourteen great-grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.

Memorial contributions may be sent to Solaris Hospice of Wise County, 2250 FM 51, Ste. 400, Decatur, Texas 76234.
