| Virginia “Virgie”
Fosdick |
A Story of Love…
This
story begins
June 21st, 1924 when Virgie was born, the daughter of Roy
Leon
Kelley and Olive Agnes Wright Kelley in Caribou, Maine.
She with her older sister Hazel, and her
younger brother Gary were raised in a loving, God fearing, Christian
home. They regularly accompanied their
mother to
church and remained actively involved in church throughout her
childhood and
completion of high school. During this
period of her life she developed into a truly beautiful woman. She was known for her love of gospel music
and continued to use her God given voice her entire lifetime to
influence her
children, family and friends, in church, prayer meetings, and most
importantly,
at home.
She
met and married her one true love, her "Darlin" Roger Deforest
Fosdick, a handsome young Airmen in the United States Air Force, on
August 6th, 1959. Together they
raised eight sons, Richard,
Michael, Jeffrey, Stephen, Kevin, Roger II, Roy, and Maurice. Upon Roger’s retirement from the Air Force
in 1968, they purchased a small family farm in New Sweden, Maine. While Roger continued to work in Civil
Service, Virgie and the boys helped him work the land, tend to milk
cows,
chickens, horses, vegetable and flower gardens, and other farming
chores. It was hard work, but so full of
joy, love
and laughter. Whether laughing as Jeff
released a stud horse in spring, or as Roger II fell down a flight of
stairs
(impersonating a Flip Wilson character), or mixing a “Hot Tottie” for a
sick
pig, she kept the family going. She was
instrumental in seeing each of her boys grow physically and spiritually. When all of them went to church or to play
softball, all they needed was a preacher or an umpire.
At times they needed both.
In
1989, Virgie and
Roger moved to Kermit, Texas, where her son Jeff Lajoie and his wife
Connie
helped them remodel and settle into their new home at 424 Oaklawn. They regularly attended church at the
Assembly of God or Church of God of Prophecy. Their
days always included a time of personal prayer
and devotions each
morning together. She enjoyed working
with Roger on the daily crossword puzzles and Jumbles.
The daughter of a Prayer Warrior, she too
became one. She prayed everyday,
faithfully for each of her sons, their wives, grand children, and great
grand
children, calling to the Roll before the Lord each by name. She was
always
available to pray and would do so earnestly with conviction and
expectation,
for so many family members and friends.
Virgie
and Roger, as
health permitted, could be seen with their son Steve at the monthly
Jamboree at
the Senior Citizens Center in Kermit, singing the gospel music that was
so much
a part of their lives. She was also a
wonderful cook, as the physique of her “Darlin” and several family
members and
friends will attest. Though she never
had a professional job in her life, she made “Love” the profession of
her
life. All who met her saw that twinkle
in her eyes and felt the loving warmth of her heart.
She
recently became
ill and spent several weeks in the hospital. Even
as she weakened she continued her daily
praying, not for herself,
but for her “Darlin”, her family and friends, and for God’s will to be
done. Just as he had for so many years,
God heard
her prayers. She was able to return to
her home in Kermit. She was able to
visit one more time with many of her family and friends.
On the morning of April 29th,
with her “ Darlin” at her side, she left her family here to rejoin her
family
in heaven. She will be dearly missed by
all of her family and friends. This chapter of her life is closed. In
order to
know how her story will end, you will have to meet her in heaven and if
you do,
her final prayers for you will have been answered.
She
rejoins in heaven
her father and mother, Roy and Olive Kelley, her Sister Hazel Lindgren,
her
oldest and youngest sons, Richard Lajoie, and Maurice Fosdick. She leaves behind her beloved “Darlin” Roger
Fosdick of Kermit, Texas, Her brother Gary and wife, Jo Ann Kelley of
Woodland,
Maine, her aunt Beatrice McCarthy of Old Town, Maine, her sons, Michael
and
Cathy Lajoie, Maine, Jeff and Connie Lajoie of Kermit, Texas, Steve and
Alice
Fosdick of Wink, Texas, Kevin and Julie Fosdick of Elk River,
Minnesota, Roger
“Rod” Fosdick II of Portland, Maine, and Roy “Ed” and Debra Fosdick, of
Winsted, Minnesota. Her
grandchildren,
Michael Lajoie Jr, Nathan Lajoie, Shanya Lajoie, Teri Shuler, Carrie
Kohrs,
Kelly Oglesby, Richard Fosdick, Marcella Jo Burns, Joshua Fosdick,
David
Fosdick, Billy Dunlap, Renee Brooks, Kendra Halverson, Adam Fosdick,
Jamie
Fosdick, Nicholas Fosdick, and Krystal Fosdick. Her
great grandchildren, Trey Bale, Jeffery Bale, Kenzie Kohrs,
Kennedy Kohrs, Taylor Oglesby, Skyler Brooks, Braden Dunlap, Madison
