Carol Lynne Foster: 1950 – 2025

Carol Lynne Foster (Vroman) passed peacefully on January 3 in Fort Collins. Though she lived most of her life in Cheyenne, she enjoyed living in Arizona and Colorado in her later years. 

Born July 24, 1950, in Cheyenne, Wyoming, Carol spent her early years in Pine Bluffs, where her parents owned a Dairy Queen until the family moved to Cheyenne in the early sixties. 

Carol pursued various hobbies with passion. As a young woman, she was a horse lover, riding English as well as Western and was a member of the Foxy Trotters. She enjoyed sewing and cross stitching and became a gifted—and largely self-taught—stained glass artist, winning multiple awards in stained glass shows. She was also a glass bead artist, using a torch to melt glass to create stunning designs. She loved birds and dogs and had many beloved pets over the years. 

Carol enjoyed a long and successful career with the Wyoming Highway Patrol, where she began as a dispatcher in 1973. She left for a few years to open a grocery store in Gypsum, Colorado, in the eighties; however, she was eager to return to the radio once again. She retired as supervisor in 2002 and was a lifetime member of the Wyoming Peace Officers Association. 

Preceded in death by her parents, Albert and Helen (Good) Foster, she is survived by her daughter, Jonnie (Aaron) Genova; granddaughter, Cooper Grace Genova; sister, Jan (Gene) Smith; brother, Gary (Linda) Foster; nieces: Sheri Dee (Mike) Willard, Gretchen (Nick) Blair, Shauna (Rubben) Hehr, Amanda (Steve) Gash, and nephew, Brian Foster. 

Services will be held Friday, Jan. 17 at 2 p.m. at Wiederspahn Radomsky Chapel with reception to follow at the Gathering Place. The family asks loved ones to consider offering fond memories or anecdotes during the service. 

Please consider donating to one of the following organizations in Carol’s memory:

Global Action to End Smoking, COPD Foundation, or Cheyenne Animal Shelter.
