Obituary

Diedra Diane Foster, 65, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, left this earth on August 10, 2025. Diedra was born on June 13, 1960, to Jimmie Samuel Foster Sr. and Novella Davis Foster.

Of her five siblings, she grew up in Tulsa with three sisters and a brother. The other sister was raised in Texas. In 1978, Diedra graduated from Will Rogers High School. She later received her certification in Early Childhood Development from Vo-Tech. Her passion in life was children, especially her own. She was the matriarch of her family and was fiercely protective of her children. Growing up, she loved playing softball and braiding hair. In her later years, she enjoyed watching wrestling on TV and was known to yell passionately at the screen. Diedra was a good cook, and her family will cherish the memory of her spaghetti, pork chops, and fried potatoes. Music was also a great source of joy for her. Diedra’s favorite song was “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”  Diedra was a woman of God. She was a devout Christian and believed in Jesus as her Lord and Savior.

Diedra was preceded in death by her parents, Jimmie and Novella Foster; sisters, Gina Carroll and Avis Foster; and brother, Jimmie Foster Jr.

She is survived by her sisters, Carol Kirkland and Cynthia Godbold; her son, Dion (Trenda) Foster, and their children, Derek Willis Jr., Dysen and Dillon Foster; her daughter, Danielle Foster, granddaughter, NaJhé Allen; and great-granddaughter, Daila Luckey.
