Mary will lovingly be remembered by her wonderful fiancée, Marty Holford of Kirkwood, IL; her loved children, Danielle Morrison (Lance) of Monmouth, IL and Joshua Foust (Shayna) of Melrose, Florida. She will also be remembered by her kind brother, Joe Foust of Chicago, IL, her family, many cousins: The Robbins of Monmouth, IL, The Fernalds of Monmouth, IL and The Deans of Monmouth, IL, best friend Janet Bellamy (Gerry) of Reddick, Florida, her second family The Coopers in Gainesville, Florida and many wonderful friends.

Mary is preceded in death by her parents, Danny Fredrick Foust and Barbara Mae Foust; brother, Billy Harry Foust, many wonderful aunts, Mary Laura Tubbs Olson and Ruth E. Robbins Tee, precious Florida friends and her “son” Zack Talley.
