Obituary for Delores S Foxgrover
Delores Foxgrover, 88, died at Whidbey General Hospital on Wednesday, September 30, 2015. She was born on January 25, 1927 Fargo, North Dakota to Leonard and Regina Saue. After high school, Delores attended college at Iowa State University, where she met her future husband, James Foxgrover. They married after graduation and Jim began his illustrious military career.
Delores was a wonderful, flexible wife and mother as the family moved back and forth across the states following Jim’s work.
After Jim retired, Delores and he settled in Oak Harbor, WA where they built a home and cared for Delores’ parents. The Foxgrover family enjoyed this area tremendously, taking up boating, snow skiing, and hiking as just a few of their hobbies.
The most compelling part of their life was the many wondrous, diverse people they met and the friendships they developed and nurtured. They welcomed many families into their lives, becoming surrogate parents, confidants and helpmates. Delores was truly a gracious and beautiful woman and we will all miss her greatly.
Delores is survived by three children, Jim Foxgrover, John Foxgrover and Ann Lee, eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband RADM James Foxgrover and her parents.
A funeral mass for Delores will be held on Saturday, October 10 at 10:00 am at St. Augustine Catholic Church with Rev. Paul Pluth, JCL presiding. Recitation of the Rosary will be held prior to the mass at 9:30 am for those wishing to participate A reception is also being planned with location still to be determined.
The Foxgrover family wishes to extend their deepest gratitude to the staff at Whidbey General Hospital and the EMTs who treated our mother with the deepest respect and amazing care in her final hours. The family also suggests memorials to St Augustine Catholic Church directed to the Agape Meal Program.
Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home. To share memories or leave condolences please visit Delores’ Book of Memories page on the funeral home website at www.wallinfuneralhome.com.
