STURTEVANT - Mary Elizabeth (nee: Vick) Foreman, age 87, was born unto eternal life on November 7, 2017. She peacefully passed on from this world with her daughters, Gail and Jill by her side.

She was born in Kenosha on October 10, 1930, and was the daughter of the late Reuben and Leona (Joerndt) Vick.

She met the love of her life, Archie John Foreman, while they both worked at First National Bank of Kenosha. Archie preceded her in death on September 23, 2017. They enjoyed 67 years of marriage, holding hands every night as they fell asleep. Together they raised five children, Gail (Kerry Spitzer), Lawrence (Sandi Foth) Foreman, Sandra (Peter) Vohs, Jill (Robert) Reuter, and Douglas (Pamela Giese) Foreman.

Mary is further survived by her children; her sisters, Shirley (Ray) Gengembre, Audrey (Don) Martell and Maureen (Joel) Madison, and many loving nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

In addition to her husband and parents, Mary was preceded in death by her sister, Kathy (Robert) Willems; sister-in-law, Gerrie (Calvin) Kersten, and brothers-in-law, Ray, Robert, Don, Joel, and Calvin.

Also known as “Maybeth” to many, Mary’s humor, strength, integrity and love was the foundation of a warm and welcoming home. Although her smile and laughter will be missed, knowing she is in the presence of our Heavenly Father and her adoring husband brings us peace.
