Mrs. Mildred Lou Foster Pennington, 93, of Mocksville, passed away peacefully on Oct. 4, 2024 at her home.

She is now reunited with loved ones who passed before her including her loving husband of nearly 47 years, Howard; her parents, Thomas Glenn Foster Sr. and Edna Snider Foster; her brother, Thomas Glenn Foster Jr.; and a niece, Rhonda Foster Cohen.

Those left behind to honor her memory include: her daughter, Deirdre Browning; grandchildren, Tommy Browning (Amber) and Robert Browning (Brooke); nieces, Sandra “Dee” Angel (Scott), Lisa Sanders Stocklin (Ross), and Tracy Foster; nephew, Travis Foster (Lena); 5 great-grandchildren; several great nieces and nephews; several great-great nieces and nephews; and a great-great-great niece and nephew who loved her dearly.

For over 30 years, Mildred enjoyed the first Monday of every month with some very special ladies, many of whom she met at her shop. Mildred owned her own hair salon in Cooleemee for many years, where she gained dozens of loyal regular clients and many life-long friends.

Those who knew Mildred knew how she loved her fur babies, including her sweet Foxy, that passed away shortly after Howard, followed by Stormy, who was spoiled rotten, and Millie, who was Mildred’s last fur baby that stayed right by her side until the end.

A graveside service will be conducted at 3:30 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 8 at Joppa Cemetery with Rev. Dewayne Lambeth officiating. The family will receive friends prior to the service from 2-3 p.m. at the funeral home.
