Foster L. Yancy Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Yancy, Foster L., June 3, 2022 age 92 of Plymouth/Canton. Beloved husband of Helen. Loving father of Robin Chubner, Bill (Sharon) Yancy, Leslie (Scott) Wiemer, and Keith (Christine) Yancy. Proud grandpa of Brandon (Alicia), Foster, Laura, Nina (Justin), Nicholas (Rachael), Julia (Danny), Samantha (Zane), Jake, Taylor, Meredith, Adrienne, and Clara, and great-grandpa of Dylan, Maddisyn, Luke, Jude, Abel, Eli, Isaac, Levi, Sloane and Harper. Foster spent his early years living on his grandparents farm, and spoke often of his love for them. After joining the Navy, he served in the Korean War, was honorably discharged, and enjoyed a near 40-year career with the US Post Office. He loved bowling with his sons, gardening with his wife Helen, his dogs (and every animal he ever met) but loved his family and friends above all else. His happiness and love of people was irresistible, and he unfailingly made friends whenever he went. While his passing is bittersweet, his legacy is marked by love, laughter, and an example of kindness and humor that made everyone he knew a better version of themselves. He will never be forgotten.
