Inge L. Foster, 88, of Dresden, passed away on May 21 at her residence.
She was born in Berlin, Germany on Sept. 5, 1922, the daughter of Paul and Hedwig (Gohlke) Karsties.
Inge attended school in Chemnitz and Dresden, Germany and law school at the University of Berlin, and later at UMA in Augusta.
She loved the rural landscape and restored the family farm fields to raise beef cattle.

She is survived by a son, Robert N. Foster of Tucson, Ariz.; daughter-in-law, Susan Dustin of Saco; granddaughter, Jennifer Foster Sciaraffa of South Portland; and great-grandson, Greyson Sciaraffa.
