“Mama”
1925-2012
Yone Kasahara Starr (Mama) passed away peacefully on Feb 5, 2012. Yone was born in Kamioka, Japan on July 14, 1925 to Koto and Harukichi Kasahara.
She was the youngest of 6 children, 3 sisters and 2 brothers. She met her love Donald while he was in the Air Force and stationed in Japan. They married and had been happily together for 61 years. She raised 5 children that she was extremely proud of, Peggy (Terry) Schramm, Larry (Karen), Daryle (Shellie), Michael (Renae) and Rick (Lisa). She had 11 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren.
After raising her family she received her US Citizenship which she was proud of and driver’s license which kept children off the streets during that period. Her passion was her family who sat through many of life lessons while eating her Japanese cuisine. She loved riding the bus to Wendover to win the family fortune with Donald and her many Japanese friends.
The family wants to thank W.V.C. Dialysis staff and CNS hospice for all their kind efforts. We will miss her but know she is in good hands.
