She grew up in North Kingston, one of four children of the late James and Marion (McGee) Foster. Mom worked side by side with Dad at the greenhouse business and vegetable farming and sold rhubarb at roadside. Mom was an active member of the Women's Institute and Kingston United Church. Sewing, crocheting, quilting, baking and playing cards with Hope and Doug were activities that filled her spare time. Her hands were always busy.
