Clemo Foster

GLEN ALLEN, Mo. -- Jody Clemo Foster, 82, of Glen Allen passed away Thursday, March 19, 2020, at Southeast Hospital in Cape Girardeau.

He was born April 18, 1937, to the late Silvy and Clara Mae Foster of Glen Allen. Clemo and Edith Green of Patton, Missouri, were united in marriage May 17, 1961, and to this union four children were born.

He worked at Baldwin Electric, the pallet mills and Superior Electric, and then Heuer's Implement in Cape Girardeau, retiring after 26 1/2 years. He was a mechanic who could fix anything placed in front of him.

Clemo never met a stranger, was a man of faith, a hard worker and believed in helping others regardless of the circumstances. He was one of the founding members of White Oak Baptist Church of Glen Allen and was active in the church as a song leader, maintaining the church and the grounds. He endeared others through his teasing, practical jokes and his sense of humor and always had a story and a smile. He was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by all.

Clemo is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 58 years; daughters, Phyllis (Larry) Ragsdale of Marble Hill, Missouri, and Lisa (Michael) Walter of Jackson; sons, Leonard Foster of Glen Allen and Richard (Angela) Foster of Fredericktown, Missouri; grandchildren, Danielle (Matt) Torbet of Cape Girardeau, Joshua (Jessica) Liley of Cape Girardeau, Adam (Nicole) Liley of Marble Hill, Shane (Kerri) Walter of Jackson, Curtis Walter of Jackson, Zachary Walter of San Diego, Bradley Davis of Fredericktown and Dylan Steele of Farmington, Missouri; great-grandchildren Alivia, Liam and Ryan Liley of Cape Girardeau, Bella and Bentley Liley of Marble Hill, Brody and Blaine Torbet of Cape Girardeau, Fletcher Davis and Xavier Brady of Grand Haven, Michigan; brother, Jess (Erma) Foster of Poplar Bluff, Missouri; and sisters, Bonnie Schuchman of St. Louis, Faye (Charles) Mock of Dexter, Missouri, and Glenda (Steve) Baker of Marble Hill.

He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, James, David and Jack Foster, all of Glen Allen; and brother in-law, Johnnie Fergie of Marquand, Missouri.
