Debra Kay Plaster

Debra Kay Plaster, Marion, passed away Tuesday, August 13, 2019 at her home.  In lieu of a service there will be a Celebration of Life on Sunday, September 15, 2019, at Fawn Creek Country Club, Anamosa, Iowa, from 1-4pm.

Deb was born January 21, 1946 to Mildred (Kautz) and Marion Seitz in Davenport, Iowa.  Graduating in 1964 with many life-long friends from Davenport Central she continued her education at the University of Northern Iowa.   In 1976 she married her best friend, Craig Plaster, and in 1979 they moved from Davenport to Marion.  They, along with their sons, spent over 15 years every weekend at their second home in Paradise Valley near McGregor, Iowa.  It was not long that golf became an important part of their lives.  They began traveling through many states, golfing wherever they could find an open tee time.  Deb retired from Omni Medical Systems in 2007 and began volunteering at the Anamosa Care Center.  

Immediate survivors include Craig, sons Scott (Leslie) Miller, Tadd (Amy) Miller, Nick (Kristi) Plaster, and step-son Brian (Carrie) Plaster.  Grandchildren Jade, Makenley, Caleb, step-grandsons Logan and Dylan, and step-granddaughter Brittany, along with Deb’s brother Barry (Vicky) Seitz.  Several nieces, nephews, in-laws and friends also survive her.

Deb’s parents, parents in-law Ed and Irene Plaster, and dear friend Connie Stewart predeceased her.

Leading a very positive and happy life she spent her retirement years enjoying family, traveling, golfing and volunteering.  She was dedicated to ladies’ golf and the Women’s Eastern Iowa Golf Association at Fawn Creek Country Club in Anamosa, Iowa, where she and Craig were members.  

The family would like to thank Dr Ghosh and his incredible staff at the Ghosh Center in Cedar Rapids for Deb’s excellent care, as well as the comfort they provided.  They were like family.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be directed to family, who will divide the donations among four charities selected by Debra.

Grief is not a sign of weakness.  Not a lack of faith.  It is the price of  love.
