Mrs. Lois Foskey Brantley, age 81, beloved wife of the late Howard Donald Brantley, passed away on Tuesday afternoon, February 22, 2022 at Meadows Regional Hospital in Vidalia.

Born in Treutlen County, she was a daughter of John Marvin Foskey and Lizzie Mae Norris Foskey.  She grew up in the Scott and Adrian area.  She attended school in Scott and Treutlen County.  She married Soperton native Howard Donald Brantley in March of 1961 and has since made her home in Treutlen County.  Mrs. Brantley had worked at the Soperton Shirt Factory for a short time before joining the Cafeteria Staff at the Treutlen County Elementary School, where she worked for approximately thirty years until retiring in the late 2000s.  While working in the cafeteria, she quickly became the favorite among the students.  After retiring from the school system she enjoyed spending time with her family and taking care of her husband.

Mrs. Brantley's life revolved around her family and especially her children and grandchildren.  She was a familiar face at their special events and might have even cheered for the Georgia Bulldogs and the Atlanta Braves.
