REMEMBERING DIANE FOSHEE
It is with great sadness we want to let you know that Diane Foshee passed away on October 9, 2019. A memorial service was held October 19, 2019, at Leakey United Methodist Church, in Leakey, Texas, where Diane was an active member for many years.
Diane and her husband George were generous and compassionate supporters of and contributors to Garner State Park. She was one of the founders of FRIENDS OF GARNER and a significant developer of Garner’s trail system. Her tales of coming to the park as a child in the 40s and her narration of the history will be missed but have been saved for future generations. Please join us in thoughts and prayers for her loving family.
