Linda Forster Obituary

Linda Marie Forster was born on August 12, 1958 in Seattle, Washington and went to be with the Lord November 22, 2025 in Monroe, Washington. She is survived by her husband, Paul Forster, her children, Paul Forster Jr. and Shannon Ramirez, and her grandchildren Andrew and Levi Forster. She is also survived by her mother, Patricia Rosella; her sister, Donna Whittemore; her brothers John Castle, Robert Castle, David Dinger, and Mike Castle; her niece, Stephanie Routen; and her nephew Mike Holmes.

Linda enjoyed gardening, the beauty of the ocean and mountains, and time with friends and family. She had recently moved back to Monroe to be near her daughter, Shannon, and son-in-law Enrique, and was looking forward to making her new home her own.

Linda was kind, caring, and stubborn - she knew what she believed and held to it. She welcomed everyone with open arms, a generous spirit, and a forgiving heart. If she saw a need or a problem, she was often first to offer help. Her wit and good humor put everyone instantly at ease and her honest advice was cherished by all who knew her.

Linda will be missed by many.

Linda loved hummingbirds and the ocean. Her loved ones will think of her whenever a hummingbird appears-her light still shining down on them.
