Yvonne “Pat” Eloyse (Tyler) Foster, 90, passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 12, 2026.

Pat was born on August 23, 1936, in Free Soil, to Edward and Eunice Tyler. In 1957, she married the love of her life, Gerald Owen Foster, and together they made their home in Ludington, where they built a life and raised their family.

Pat retired from Giant Way after many years of service. She enjoyed many hobbies and activities throughout her life, including sewing, knitting, and cross-stitching. She also loved senior road trips, camping, and watching the Detroit Tigers with her family. Above all, Pat cherished the time she spent with her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. Her family was her greatest joy, and the memories made together will be treasured for generations.

Pat leaves behind a loving family who will forever hold her memory close. She is survived by her three children, Sheryl (Larry) Morton, Lori (Jerome) Austin, and Craig Foster; her siblings, Sharon Reed, Kevin (Dori) Tyler, and Garry (Kaye) Tyler; 14 grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren, all of whom were a special part of her life.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Gerald Owen Foster; her son, Todd Foster; her daughter, Lisa Foster; her parents, Edward and Eunice Tyler; and her brother, Ed Tyler.

Pat will be remembered for her love of family, her many talents, her enjoyment of life’s simple pleasures, and the countless memories she created with those she loved. Though she will be deeply missed, her love and legacy will live on through the many generations of family she leaves behind.
