Janie E Foreman

On Friday, January 22, 2021 Janie Foreman stepped onto the clouds to meet her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

She was raised in dirt patches with her family producing and selling vegetables.
She graduated from Magnolia High School and had a long career with Southwestern Bell.

On her first date with Gene Foreman, they went to get a Coke and they never looked
back. Being married and living life with an oilfield worker, airman, farmer and mailman took her to many places but they established their farm in Okfuskee. Together they raised Jerry Kenneth Foreman and Mike Foreman.

In 1963, they joined the Second Baptist Church. For over 45 years, she devoted herself
to the Children’s Ministry as she strongly believed in sharing the love of Jesus with everyone and especially with children. She also had a passion for singing in the choir and sang with the Silvertones for many years.

Southwestern Bell and she helped to provide for her family. She also cooked amazing
meals, collected many shoes, fed many birds, wrote many cards, she loved a good joke and she shared her love of Jesus with all.
