Dradie Dee (Thompson) Foster

1928-2014

Foster_DradieDradie Dee (Thompson) Foster passed from this life Feb.12, 2014, to embrace an eagerly-anticipated reunion with her one true love, husband Dick Foster.

Born Dec. 7, 1928, in Apache, OK to Drs. Harmon C. and Eva Irion Thompson, she began in 1962 to work as a comptometer operator at the TG&Y offices. Dradie had many interests, including night-time phone talks with her granddaughter, using Olive Garden coupons with her son, and going gambling with her daughter.

Her greatest pastime was loving her family and being with her children, grands, great-grands, and her precious new great-great-grandson.

Dradie is preceded in death by her parents, husband, brothers, and sister. She is survived by daughter Jacque; son Jim (wife Patty); granddaughter Kelly (husband Jay); granddaughter Eva (husband Jeremey); great-granddaughter Kenady; great-grandson Kyle (Katie); and great-great-grandson Brooks. Dradie (Kelly’s “Grandmama” and Eva’s “Honey”) was truly the essence of pure family love. We will miss her, but we know she is with her husband, her mother, and all of her loved ones.

In lieu of flowers, Dradie’s wish was to support the Leukemia Foundation.

Graveside service at 11:00 AM Monday, Feb. 17, 2014 at Memorial Park Cemetery under the direction of Matthews Funeral Home, Edmond.

    I have wonderful memories of my Aunt Dradie growing up. She was a wonderful influence in my life and I was always proud to be a part of her family. Heaven gained a wonderful angel.

    You are missed every day. I can’t believe almost eleven years have gone by since you’ve been gone. The world was a better place with you in it. You set so many excellent examples for Eva and I. Watching you paint your nails weekly, making excellent family dinners and homemade oatmeal cookies will never be forgotten. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you and miss our nightly calls. I’ll see you again my sweet Grandmama.
