MARION FRANCES CALL
Marion Frances Call, 92 yrs. old, beloved mother of Janet, Donna and Tim passed away October 19 from Covid.
Mom loved farm life, gardening and canning what she raised, growing beautiful plants, trees, and flowers. She was most content in the outside world raising chickens, collecting their eggs, and feeding the birds. Mom was an excellent seamstress making all our clothes including dresses, coats, dad’s suits and ties and the pajamas with cuffed pants that he loved the best. She taught us to cook, sew, knit & crochet and believed in hard work as one way to be happy. She loved her church and always knew what decisions the right ones were. Her happiest times were spent growing up on Peach Ridge and she had plenty of stories to tell about her family’s life there.
Mom’s great loves were her parents, her husband, her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
She will be sadly missed by us all as she remains the happiest most content person we’ve ever known. Mom always woke up with a smile on her face ready to live the day fully.
Funeral service was private due to Covid.

Becky was extremely strong and independent, which led her to be both a fighter and a survivor. These traits and accompanying sacrifices were perhaps no better illustrated than in her love, dedication and unselfish manner in which as a single parent she raised her son, Brett. She never had it easy in life, but she never complained. When she was thrown lemons, she would make lemonade. She was also a very generous person who would literally give you the shirt off her back.
Although Brett was the love of her life, she also loved gardening, oil painting, and arranging flowers. And she loved to dance, with or without a partner. In her recent years she would sit on her deck for hours marveling at the sky and carrying on a conversation with her Lord.
Becky is survived by her loving son Brett and his wife Linda; sisters, Brenda Guibert, Marilyn Callison (Carl); Brother, Alan Hartley (Sherry); special nieces/bonus granddaughters, Samantha Wise (Mic), Elizabeth Hartley, and Andrea Blandford (Bill); special nephews/bonus grandsons, Benjamin and Nicholas Blandford; bonus sisters/friends, Jackie Hayes, Sue Runion, Kaye Runion and Tina Leadmon; cousin/bonus sister, Carolyn Young; and friend, Joan Paul. She is also survived by a host of loving family members and friends.
Becky was preceded in death by her husband, William (Bill) Foster, her parents, Sam and Mabel Hartley and brother-in-law George Guibert.
Becky graduated from Hurricane High School and attended West Virginia State University. She worked at Blue Cross Blue Shield 15 years before working and retiring from Putnam County Bank. Becky was a member of the First Baptist Church of Hurricane for over 60 years, and a member of Hurricane Chapter Order of Eastern Star for 60 years.
A celebration of Becky’s life will be held in the Spring.
