Foster, Maxine

Passed away peacefully on Wednesday, May 18, 2016 in North Bay at the age of 84.

Loving Mother to Judy Foster (Bill), Karen Foster, Susan Foster-Fulton (Chris) and Diane Tate. Grammie to Emma, Kate and Adam Fulton. She will be fondly remembered by surviving brother Del Fogarty, sister-in-law Helen Fogarty, and her many cousins in the Fogarty/Sageman clan. She is pre-deceased by her husband Donald Foster and her parents Frank and Bea Fogarty.

Max moved to northern Ontario with Don and a young family in the sixties and viewed it as a pivotal point in her life. She quickly settled into the banking business at Northland Trust a predecessor company to TD Canada Trust but eventually moved to Real Estate at Kennedy’s. Real Estate was her true calling and she was a long time member of the North Bay Real Estate Board serving as President in 1990.

She had many interests and always participated with enthusiasm. She loved to spend time with family, teaching several generations to play Euchre and Poker and attempted to pass her skills of knitting, sewing and canning on to a not-so-receptive audience and was never able to convince anyone to enjoy her homemade wine. 

She will be missed by all for her quick wit, her sound advice and her readiness to be part of the party at anytime. 

The family would like to thank the staff of Eastholme Home for the Aged for their care and attention to Maxine in her time with them. Maxine volunteered at a local high school program helping young mothers with their babies; in Memorium donations to a charity in support of children would be appreciated as they were dear to her heart. Visitation will be held Friday, May 27, 2016 at HILLSIDE FUNERAL SERVICES from 11:00 to 1:00 followed by a short service.
