Gracie Elizabeth Foster

Gracie Elizabeth Foster, 14, of Owensboro, passed away January 6, 2023, in Cincinnati, OH. She was born August 29, 2008, in Owensboro, to Barry Foster and Robin Clark. Gracie touched the lives of every person she met. She was beloved by all. Gracie radiated pure joy that could blind you. Her passions included spending time with family and friends, making TikTok videos and Snaps in the Sugar Shack. She loved to snuggle and play with her dogs, Riley Roo, Remy, Jessie, Luca, Nash, and Puppy. Gracie adored her nieces and nephews. She was an exceptional student and prided herself on good grades and was determined to be veterinarian one day. Gracie’s loving spirit, fierce love, sassiness, and tender concern for those around her will be deeply missed. Her kind heart and infectious smile will live on in our hearts forever. Gracie’s trademark giggle will always be music to our ears.
