Sethma Caspers Obituary

Sethma was one of a kind! For 99 years she lived life to the fullest. The word most often used to describe her was "awesome."

She loved dancing and spent 10 years performing in all the major cities of Europe and the U.S. She delighted people with stories of her travels. She even wrote a book highlighting many of her adventures.

Sethma was a loving mother who spent much time with her three children: Anne, Marelena, and Bill Jr. She was always there to give help and support when needed. She enjoyed visiting and traveling with her children and grandchildren. She was constantly ready for a trip. Her favorite phrase was "Let's go!"

Sethma was a caring person who helped others. She gathered gifts and teddy bears for orphans, sick children in the hospitals, and girls and boys clubs. She became known as the Teddy Bears Lady in Santa Barbara.

Besides her three children, Sethma had 11 grandchildren, many great grandchildren, and several great-great grandchildren.

We love you Mom! We love you Nana! Thank you for a lifetime of wonderful memories.

Arrangements are under the direction of JOSEPH P. REARDON FUNERAL HOME and CREMATION SERVICE, Ventura.
