Paul Lee Foshee, Sr. (born November 12, 1932), is a retired crop duster from , Louisiana, who served as a Democrat nonconsecutively in both houses of the Louisiana State Legislature during the 1960s and 1970s.
Foshee is descended from an old-line Natchitoches family, which first came to the Cane River area in 1690 from Paris, France. His parents, who married in 1928, were George Washington Foshee (1893–1973), a veteran of World War I and a sawmill operator in Natchitoches, and the former Mamie Lee Smith (1906–1991). Foshee was reared in the Baptist Church. In 1950, he graduated from Natchitoches High School (renamed after desegregation), and in 1961, he completed studies for a bachelor's degree in social science at Northwestern State University in Natchitoches.
Foshee has been married and divorced six times. From his first marriage to the former Charlene Addington, the daughter of Charles Garland Addington and the former Wanda Vera Smiddy (1916–1975), he had four children. Paul Foshee, Jr. (born 1951), operates Foshee Dusting Company in Natchitoches, the business that Foshee founded in 1952. Foshee, Sr., retired from flying in 1998.
From the first marriage, Foshee also has a daughter, Fran Lea Foshee Poole, and the late son, George Foshee. A fourth child from the first marriage, Christie Cheryl Foshee, died at birth; no dates are marked on her gravestone in Fern Park Cemetery in Natchitoches. From the second marriage to the former Venita Ann Higgs, since deceased, Foshee had a third son, Lane Chase Foshee (1970–1999). He has no children from his subsequent marriages to the former Martha Martinez, Joyce Wall, Karen Cook, and Katherine Joan Phares.
