Jimmie Foster was raised on a farm in the Flower Grove community of
northern Martin County and attended school there, while Carolyn was
raised on a farm in Vealmoor in northern Howard County and attended
school in Gail, Texas. Though neither claim to have been very good
athletes, Carolyn enjoyed playing basketball and Jimmie enjoyed playing
football. In 1957, a family member introduced them to each other. They
became high school sweethearts and married June 4, 1962. The Fosters have been married fifty-seven years.
After farming in the Flower Grove community for about ten years, they moved to Ackerly, Texas, where
Jimmie operated a service station. Carolyn was a homemaker while the children were young, although she
did find time to babysit and do housekeeping for others. The preacher at the Ackerly Church of Christ, Roy
Phemister, helped Carolyn and Jimmie to get involved in the work of the church and to learn more about the
Bible and about Christ. In 1992, Jimmie and Carolyn moved to Stanton, where he worked for Town & Country
convenience store and she worked in the dietary department at the Stanton Care Center. When the Fosters
moved to Midland about ten years ago, they placed membership at the North “A” congregation.
God blessed the couple with two sons, Todd and Mark, and two daughters, Jennifer and Janet. They also
have six grandchildren and five great grandchildren. After an extended illness, their daughter, Jennifer,
passed away in May, 2018. The Fosters have been blessed with a very special grandchild, Corbin, whose
disability resulted in him being the poster child for Children’s Miracle Network three times. In spite of his
physical challenges, Corbin is now twenty-five years old, has graduated from high school and from Howard
College, and works with computers.
Jimmie’s hobby is playing the guitar, and he enjoys attending country and bluegrass festivals. Carolyn’s
hobbies include crossword puzzles and Sudoku. Both of them enjoy cooking. When things get tough, Carolyn
says she finds reciting Psalm 23 to be helpful: “The Lord is my shepherd …”
