Margaret Foster | Age 84

Margaret Foster passed away at the age of 84, her life a testament to her nurturing spirit, her intellectual curiosity, and her unwavering strength.

Margaret was born and raised in the picturesque town of Saratoga Springs, just north of Schenectady, New York. She was a beloved educator in the local school district, where she taught English literature, inspiring her students with her passion for the written word and her commitment to their personal growth.

Her love for literature was rivaled only by her dedication to her family and her community. Margaret was an active member of the Saratoga Springs library board, spearheading initiatives to expand literacy and access to books for all ages.

She is survived by her two sons, William and James; four grandchildren; and her adoring cat, Whiskers. Her husband, Thomas Foster, predeceased her, but she continued to share the lessons of love and kindness they both held dear.

Margaret’s service will be held in the very library that was a second home to her, next Saturday afternoon. Family, friends, and former students are invited to celebrate her life and the indelible mark she left on her community and everyone she met.
