Ramon Joel Pena

In Loving Memory of Ramon Joel Peña

“Rocket”

December 30, 1983 – October 18, 2026

Ramon Joel Peña, affectionately known as “Rocket,” passed away unexpectedly on October 18, 2026, at the age of 42. Though his time here was far too short, Ramon lived a life full of energy, laughter, adventure, and love. His unexpected passing leaves a tremendous void in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Ramon was a free spirit who lived life his own way. He had a carefree soul, a great sense of humor, and a personality that brought life and laughter wherever he went. He loved riding motorcycles and embracing the freedom and adventure of the open road. Ramon had a way of making people laugh and creating memories that would stay with them long after the moment had passed.

Above all else, Ramon loved his children more than anything in the world. His beloved children, Anastasia Peña and Ramon Peña II, were his heart, his pride, and his greatest treasure. No matter what life brought his way, the love he had for his children was unwavering. They were the most precious part of his world, and the bond they shared will forever remain in their hearts.

One of the most beautiful things about Ramon was his willingness to help others. He was the kind of person who would give you the shirt off his back, even when he had very little himself. If someone needed a helping hand, Ramon did what he could to be there. He understood that kindness wasn't measured by how much you had, but by how much you were willing to give. His generous heart and willingness to help others were a special part of who he was, and that is a legacy that will live on through the countless lives he touched.

Ramon is survived by his beloved children, Anastasia Peña (Mary, mother) and Ramon Peña II (Debra, mother); his loving mother, Sylvia Calderon; his sisters, Bianca Ann Garcia and her husband, Ismael, and Aliza Flanigan and her husband, Brian; and his brothers, Roland Soto and Tony Soto. He also leaves behind his nieces, Arianna Peña and Navah Garcia; his nephews, Ismael Garcia Jr., Elijah Garcia, and Brian Flanigan Jr.; along with many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family members, and dear friends who will forever cherish his memory.

He was preceded in death by his stepfather, Roland Soto, and his grandparents, Ignacio Soto, Maria Soto, Paula Calderon, and Leon Calderon Sr.

Though Ramon may no longer be here with us, the memories he created, the laughter he shared, the love he gave, and the kindness he showed will never be forgotten. His life reminds us that a person's true wealth is not found in what they own, but in the love they give and the lives they touch along the way.

The road ahead will not be the same without Rocket. His absence will be felt in the quiet moments, in family gatherings, in the laughter that brings back a memory, and in every reminder of the free spirit who lived life with his own kind of fire. Though our hearts are broken by his unexpected departure, we find comfort in knowing that the love he gave and the memories he left behind will remain with us forever.

Elizabeth "Libby" Foster

Elizabeth “Libby” Foster

April 28, 1947 – October 14, 2026

Elizabeth Ann “Libby” Johnson Foster, 79, went home to be with her Lord on October 14, 2026. She leaves behind a family who adored her, a church family who will miss her hugs, and hundreds of children she introduced to the Lord—a legacy that will continue long after her.

Libby was born on April 28, 1947, in Austin, Texas, to S.L. and Thelma Johnson. When she was six, the family moved to Corpus Christi, the city she would call home for most of her life. She graduated from W.B. Ray High School in 1965 and, a year later, completed her training as a laboratory technician at St. Mary’s Hospital School of Nursing. In December 1966, Libby married Ron W. Foster, and the two began their life together in Austin. There she served as Assistant Director of the Austin Blood Bank and worked as a lab technician and trained nurse. It was the beginning of a working life devoted to two callings—caring for people’s health and teaching young children—and she often found a way to do both at once. After she and Ron returned to Corpus Christi in 1971, Libby’s many gifts found many outlets. She worked as a trained nurse in three doctors’ offices, two of them in pediatrics, and also served as Director of Education for Legacy of Life, an organ and tissue donation organization. She directed the Rainbow School at Windsor Park Church of Christ, taught kindergarten at Second Baptist Church, and ran a day-care program in her own home for the children of local teachers.

Music was one of Libby’s great joys, and she shared it with children in many different places. She served as music director for the Rainbow School at Kings Crossing Church of Christ, taught Kindermusik classes for the very young, and taught music at Corpus Christi Christian School as well as Annapolis Christian Academy. She was a beloved soloist at weddings and spent several years singing and performing with the Sweet Adelines. Wherever the family worshipped, she could be found teaching the youngest members of the congregation with joy and music.

Through every season, Libby was a wonderful wife, a gracious Army commander’s spouse, and a selfless mother to her three beloved children. Some of Libby’s most cherished work never appeared on a résumé. As a mom, she was always there for her children—volunteering at their schools, pitching in with their activities and organizations, and supporting the youth group at church. She even ran the Little League concession stand for ten years! She never needed a title or a thank-you; showing up for her kids and grandkids was simply how she loved. Libby’s was a life well and fully lived. Everyone who knew her remembers her wonderful smile and her tender kindness. She made all people feel seen and loved. "Miss Libby" or "Memo" as she was affectionately called, was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, sister in Christ, and friend to so many.

Libby was preceded in death by her parents, S.L. and Thelma Johnson; her baby brother, Shelton Johnson; her son, Daron Foster; grandson, Reed Foster; granddaughter, Caroline Allen; her brother-in-law, Randy Bell, and some of her very best friends from Mo Ranch. She is survived by her husband of nearly sixty years, Ron W. Foster; her son, Kelly W. Foster (Carrie); her daughter, Amy F. Allen (Chad); her sister, Sherry Bell; her brother-in-law, Larry D. Foster (Carolyn); her sister-in-law, Sylvia G. Thomas (Roger); her grandchildren, Dawson Foster, Kellar Foster, AnnMarie Allen, Allison Allen, and Katy Foster; her nephews and nieces, great-nieces and great-nephews; and a great-great-niece.
