November 30, 1946 – October 29, 2021
Dr. James Carney Fouse, a beloved educator, passed away on October 29, 2021 at the age of 74. Dr. Fouse left behind his soul mate Genevieve Abdella Fouse. He is survived by his brother Joe Fouse (Maryclarie), his son Jon Fouse (Erin), his two granddaughters Morgan and Peyton, several brother and sister in-laws and nieces and nephews. Dr. Fouse was born in Pittsburgh, PA on November 30, 1946 to Clyde and Elizabeth Fouse. He attended college in Southern State where he obtained his Bachelor's Degree in Social Studies and began his teaching career. He was then drafted into the army where he served 2 years, part of that time being overseas. After the military, he returned to a life in education. While teaching others, he continued with his own education by earning his master's degree and then finally completing his doctorate degree. Dr. Fouse's love of education and his passion to teach lead him into a life-long career in education. His roles included being a teacher, assistant principal, principal, deputy superintendent, adjunct professor and the first Director of the El Dorado promise. With his caring nature, he quietly made a positive impact on people in this community. Dr. Fouse was also an active member at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church.
The things on this earth that brought a smile to his face and joy to his heart were Genevieve, spending time with his granddaughters, son and daughter-in-law over FaceTime and during visits, reading and talking about history and using the talents God gave him to make a difference.
