Patricia Foster

Patricia Foster, a beloved wife, mother, sister, and friend whose kindness and generosity touched the lives of many, passed away on September 10, 2025, in Orlando, Florida. Born on July 21, 1954, in Huntington, West Virginia, Patricia spent her life being a source of love and positivity for her family and friends.

For over 25 years, Patricia dedicated herself to her career as a manager at Pizza Hut, where her work ethic and warm demeanor made her a respected member of her community. She also contributed to the education of young minds while working in the cafeteria at Millenium Middle School, nurturing relationships with students and staff alike.

Patricia took immense pride in her family, often reflecting on the joyous memories they shared during trips to West Virginia and Ohio. She was particularly known for her love of the swimming pool, a favorite gathering spot during family gatherings where she could be found enjoying the company of her loved ones.

Growing up, Patricia embraced the role of a big sister to her younger siblings, providing guidance and support throughout their lives. Her generous spirit was matched only by her kindness; she never had a mean word to say about anyone and was always known for her respectful nature and infectious smile.

She had a diverse range of interests that brought her joy, including visits to Hillbilly Hot Dogs in West Virginia, indulging in Hallmark movies, and watching soap operas. Her love for family was mirrored in her devout faith, which remained a cornerstone of her life.

Patricia is survived by her husband, Allen Foster; her daughter, Ashley Lanpher; her sister, Tamara (Arnold) Parisi; her brothers, Terry (Denise) Hazelett and Doug Bryant; her grandchildren, Aiden Newton and Rose Newton; and many extended family members and friends who will miss her dearly.

She was preceded in death by her father, William Hazelett; her mother, Lois Hazelett; her sister, Pamela Bryant; and her brother, William "Billy" Hazelett Jr.

Patricia’s proudest accomplishments were her daughter and her two grandchildren, who brought her immeasurable joy. As we remember Patricia Foster, we celebrate a life rich in love, warmth, and devoted service to those around her. Her legacy of kindness will continue to inspire all who knew her.
