Jessie Lee Foster, Jr., 81, was born on March 31, 1941 to Jessie Lee Foster Sr. and Mattie Lou Nash Foster in Lillie, Louisiana and went to be in the land of glory December 28, 2022.
He is preceded in death by his parents along with two brothers, Adrian Foster and Bruce Foster.
He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Charlene Gulley Foster; daughters, Robbin Foster Bowman and husband, Hubert, Ashley Foster Bolin and husband, Brad; five granddaughters, Jessica Bowman Bankston (named after Jessie) and husband Ted, Nicole Bowman LaBeff and husband Lance, Lacy Bolin Maggio and husband Matt, Ryane Bolin Miles and husband Layne, and Laney Bolin. He also leaves behind his great grandchildren, Rhyder Burke, Deacon Bankston, Ava Bankston, Luke Miles, Mattie Lee Maggio (named after Jessie Lee), Owen Miles, Kendall Maggio; numerous family and friends.
On Jan 6, 1972 he was born again and chose to serve the Lord from that day forward. After surrendering to the ministry Jessie received a bachelor’s degree from Mid America Theological Seminary in Memphis, TN. Bro. Foster pastored for 50 years in Louisiana and Arkansas. Bro. Foster could tell stories like no other, his sense of humor and anecdotes were timeless. He could always make a point in his sermons to tie in humor with sincerity to preach God’s word. The greatest joy in his life was seeing a soul come to Jesus because he knew what Jesus did for him. He was an avid fisherman, golfer, deer hunter and killed his last deer a few weeks ago off his front porch.
Visitation will be held on Friday, December 30, 2022 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Kilpatrick Funeral Home in Farmerville, Louisiana. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, December 31 at 2:00 p.m. at Antioch Baptist Church in Farmerville with Rev. Rubin Weaver and Rev. Everett Geis officiating. Interment will follow at Spring Hill Cemetery in Oakland, Louisiana under the direction of Kilpatrick Funeral Homes.
Serving as pallbearers will be Ted Bankston, Lance LaBeff, Matt Maggio, Layne Miles, Rhyder Burke, and James Wicker. Honorary pallbearers will be Lawrence Lane, James Goldsby, Bruce Withers, and Tony Walton.
If you could sum up his life, it was full of laughter, joy and the love of Jesus. If you don’t know Jesus today, we pray you will find him and Bro. Jessie will meet you at the gates when Jesus calls you home.
