| 5620 |  | Obituary- Foster, Mary Mary Ann Nordstrom Foster Mary Foster, 63, Topeka, passed away on Friday, January 10, 2014 at Midland Hospice after battling cancer for over eight years. She was born August 8, 1950, the daughter of Carl and Virginia Nordstrom. She is survived by her father Carl; her sons, Luke (Jodi) Foster of Topeka and Matthew (Misti) Foster of Frisco, Texas; her twin brother Mark (Dona) Nordstrom and sister Carla (Randy) Hearrell of Topeka. Grandchildren include Bayli McDaniel, Jayden, Kellyn, Olivia and Sophia Foster. She was preceded in death by her mother. Mary graduated from Topeka High School in 1968 and attended Washburn University. She married Fred Foster in 1969. They were divorced. She was an independent person with a big heart and kind spirit who did things her way. As a young woman, she was an award-winning horseback rider performing in rodeos and horse shows, city girls’ tennis champion, and a promising softball player. She loved horses, cars (a ’65 Mustang and a Bandit edition Trans Am were her favorites), music of all kinds, history, and everything about Topeka High School, but most of all she loved her family. She met regularly with her large group of high school classmates who jokingly called themselves the "Divas". She spent countless hours compiling her family’s genealogy and was justifiably proud of her work. She inspired those who knew of her courageous battle with three different kinds of cancer while continuing to work a physically demanding job. The family is thankful for the support given her by her friends the "Divas", and her daughter-in-law, Jodi, whose care and training as a nurse enhanced her quality of life during her last few months. Mary’s wishes were to be cremated. A visitation in celebration of her life will be held from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Monday, January 13, 2014 at Mount Hope Chapel, 4700 SW 17th. Private family inurnment will be at a later date. Penwell-Gabel Southwest Chapel is assisting the family with arrangements.
