Mary earned her degree in Art Education from Western Illinois University in 1973. She worked as a special education teacher after her graduation. Mary's life long dream was to become a mom. God gifted her with three children to whom she was very devoted. Mary poured herself into her family and her children. She always found ways to share her love of art with her children and grandchildren. Not only was Mary a mother to Ellie, Eddie and Andrew but also to many others. Her tender concern and frequent acts of service blessed many. Everyone who knew Mary will remember her contagious and playful laughter. Mary loved to laugh and laughed often. Mary was a master gardener and her flowerbeds were vibrant, colorful and beautiful. Mary also had a deep connection with children and animals. Family dogs were special to her and she had a knack for training them to do fun tricks. In her final years, Mary relished each moment she spent with her grandchildren. She will be missed by all who knew her.
Mary is survived by her husband, Maurice Foresman, daughter Ellie Chamblee (Erick) of Canton, Ohio, two sons, Eddie (Hayley) of Denver, Colorado, Andrew of Denver, CO, brother David Yost (Paula) of Osage Beach, Missouri, 8 grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews .
Mary was preceded in death by her parents, and grandparents.
