Donna Mabel (Shrewsbury) Caster

July, 1932 – October 9, 2015

Beloved wife, mother, and friend, Donna Mabel (Shrewsbury) Caster, 83, of Sequim, Washington, passed away on October 9, 2015 after a brief illness.

She was born in July, 1932 in Wenatchee, Washington to the late Howard Homer and Mabel “Sue” Margaret (Moen) Shrewsbury.

In 1990, Donna and her husband, Don, moved to Sequim, Washington, building a home and enjoying their beautiful property and gardens with a spectacular view of the Olympic Mountains.

Donna was part of the group that discovered lavender was well suited to the Dungeness Valley’s climate and soils, and took part in the growth of Sequim’s lavender industry operating the Lavender Hill Farm. She was among the first to participate with the annual Sequim Lavender Festival, and also sold lavender wholesale and at a farm stand in Seattle’s Pike Place Market.

Donna is survived by her husband of 57 years, Don; daughter Susan (Kevin) of Kailua, Hawaii; son Larry (Denise) of Kailua, Hawaii; son Chris (Heidi) of Seattle; and grandchildren Taylor, Alexandra, Cole, Erin and Summer.

Above all things, Donna loved her family deeply. She also was blessed with an abundance of close friends and neighbors.
