  • Notes 
    • Foster, Betty Jo "B.J."
      Traverse City, MI
      Betty Jo “B.J.” Foster passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family on Wednesday, May 8, 2002 after a long, valiant battle with cancer. BJ was a resident of Northern Michigan for the last 15 years after living in the Lansing area where she graduated from J.W. Sexton High School and attended Michigan State University. BJ was born June 7, 1931, the daughter of W.H. and Grace (Mullins) Brummett, who are both deceased. In July of 1949, she married her high school sweetheart, James F. Foster, who survives, and they have been “best friends” ever since. BJ so much cared for her 4 children, James B. of Northport, Kevin B. (Deb) of Suttons Bay, Jan M. (Mark) Killoran of Bath and Christopher P. (Amy) of Torch River. BJ also adored her 7 grandchildren, 2 great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. She cut a wide swath through life and everyone she met became a friend. BJ had many interests and especially enjoyed dancing, reading and traveling. There was not an animal that BJ didn’t love. A memorial service will be held at a later date. Memorial contributions may be directed to Munson Hospice, who have been so helpful in these difficult times. Arrangements are being handled by the Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home in Traverse City.
