Pamela Foerster

Pamela Burnett Foerster was born on December 3, 1953 and grew up in Lufkin Texas with her grandparents until the age of 5. She then moved to Houston to be with her parents Floyd and Marie. Pamela studied ballet at a young age for many years and enjoyed her music. She loved to read her mystery books, and was very passionate when it came to her animals. Growing up in East Texas helped to cultivate her love not only for eventually grocery shopping almost on a daily basis, but to having her husband build several garden boxes at home to grow tomatoes, peppers, okra, bell peppers, squash, just to name some. To say our mom loved grocery shopping it would be an understatement, but her love for cooking was something else. She would get up at the crack of dawn and drag not only Robert but her kids to the farmers' market to look for whatever grabbed her attention, which would be a truck load of turnip and greens. To say Pam will be missed, is a huge understatement; she touched not only our lives but those around us. From volunteering at an early age as a candy striper to later at St. Luke's Hospital then going to volunteer at the neighborhood library for many years. She was always quick to ask what someone might need, which could include giving gift cards to buy groceries or just making meals for someone when they were sick and staying to visit.

Pamela married her longtime love, Robert A. Foerster on August 9, 1976. She passed suddenly on Saturday,May 4, 2019 and is survived by her husband Robert Foerster and her daughters Amy, Wendy and her husband Jose, Abbey and Ashley. Grandchildren: Justin, Brett, Audrey, Casandra, Brandon, Hannah. She was a Wonderful Wife, Great Mother and a even Greater Grandmother and will be greatly missed!
