Her friends had become very special friends, sisters, and brothers to her. Darlene was always the best dress person in the room with her flashy style. She was the life of any party and loved to put a smile on everyone’s face.

Hester, Mother Harriet Hester, Father William G Foster, Sisters Kimela D Foster and Deborah A Foster and brother Thomas Foster and a very special brother-in-law Andre Ferguson.

(Ryan) Foster; grandchildren, Alayah, Michael Jr., Mikayla, Machai, and Marley; great granddaughter, Miari; sisters, Pamela Ferguson and Annette (Kenneth) McKinley; brothers, John (Janet) Foster and Michael (Shurawn) Foster; honorary sons, Earl (Ebony) Waller and Devin (Shaunda) Givens; special niece whom she looked at as her daughter, Sylvia (Leonard) McBride; and a host of Nieces, Nephews, and cousins; very special friends, Michelle Moody, Nellie Cummings, Schniece Cummings, Donna Moore, Cha Cha Shepherd, Joe Moorehead Jr, and many more.

Condolence from Denise Bradley-Walker on February 7th, 2022 8:28 am

I met Darlene back in the early 80’s at Anthem BCBS ( Community Mutual) it was always a pleasure seeing her smiling face daily until she left the company. We reconnected many years later at some of our “favorite places” and again always greeted with a warm hug and a smile. It was my pleasure to have known her.

To the family, may the warm memories of Darlene bring you comfort and peace during this difficult time. May She Rest In Heaven ….
