Karen Sue Foster was born in Cincinnati, Ohio on April 2, 1957 to Evelyn Foster and Raymond Foster, Sr. She departed this earthly life on Thursday April 7, 2022 at the age of 65. At an early age she developed a love for fashion. However, during her time at Courter Tech High School and Western Hills High School she cultivated her skillset for administration and clerical work. After graduation in 1975, she went on to work at Anthem, and ended her career at the University of Cincinnati in the Hemodialysis Unit. Karen was a legacy member of The New Jerusalem Baptist Church and was a dedicated member even after being diagnosed with Mesothelioma cancer in 2014. Karen was the Beloved mother of Dominique Francisco. Karen and Dominique loved traveling together. Karen was a huge Minnie Mouse fanatic, so there is no surprise her favorite vacations were Hawaii and Orlando/Disney.
