Remona Beatrice Young

Remona Beatrice (Foster) Young, 92, of Mountain Home, Arkansas, passed away Wednesday, February 22, 2023, at Hospice of the Ozarks in Mountain Home.

She was born in Elizabeth, Arkansas, on July 22, 1930, daughter of the late Troy and Mildred (Marchant) Foster. Bea was the eldest of 10 children, thereby being a great help to her mother, Mildred. She learned many great qualities by helping her mother, which she used every day as a homemaker. Bea was a great cook, housekeeper, caregiver, had a kind caring heart and was a hard worker. Her and her husband, G.W., had three sons, Gary, Elmo and Roger. Bea was always willing to help her sons and other family members when they had a need. Her and G.W. moved from the Shawnee, Kansas, to Mountain Home in the 90’s where they enjoyed their life together until his death in 2005. After the passing of G.W., Bea became more involved in the South Congregation of Jehovah’s Kingdom Hall in Mountain Home. She began studying the Bible lessons, finding friendships and fellowship within the community, which was a great comfort to her.
