Zoe Ann Cashman, age 92, with her sons at her side, passed away February 22, 2021.
Zoe Ann was born at Swedish Hospital, October 19, 1928 to Norman and Marguerite Anderson. From their early home on McGraw street in Mountlake to the family home on Federal Avenue East, Zoe Ann grew up in Seattle Schools and was proud to have graduated from Broadway High School. Then off for a short stint at Univ of Oregon and then graduating from Univ of Washington where she pledged Gamma Phi Beta and met Ben Cashman. They married in 1949, moved to Washington DC where Ben worked in the Pentagon. After 5 years in DC they moved to Carmel, CA and then Hong Kong for 4 years before coming home to Seattle and buying a home in Lake Forest Park where she lived for 48 years. An educator, Zoe Ann began her career at Kenmore Junior High in 1962 as a teacher, moved to being a Counselor and then to administration and retired in 1987. She and Ben then travelled visiting all corners of the world.
Zoe Ann was especially proud of her sons, grandchildren and most recently her great grandchildren. There was hardly a sporting event, band concert, or school event that her family was in that she did not attend. Road trips to follow Alan’s baseball team, attending Megan’s dance recitals or a Colby basketball/baseball game, she was always there.
Survivors include sons Alan (Bonnie) and Jeff (Judy), grandchildren Megan Baumgartner (Ryan) and Colby Cashman, great grandchildren Addison and Brady Baumgartner.
There will be a private family service at a date to be determined.
