Marie A. Cassis, of Charleston, fell asleep in the Lord on Fri. Sept. 25, 2015, at home. She was preceded in death by her parents, Abraham and Bakey Corey Cassis; sisters, Josephine, Roseline, and Libby; and brothers, Cleo, Mike, Lee (Olga), and Mose.

Left to cherish her memory are her brother-in-law, Simon Ofiesh; nieces, Diana (John) Shdeed, Dede Cassis, Becky, Terry, and Susan (FISH) Ofiesh; nephews, David (Margie) Cassis and Daniel Cassis; great-nieces, Danielle Cassis, Lauren Cassis, Meredith Shdeed, and Lisa (John) Haddy; great-great-niece, Samantha Nasr; great-nephews, David Lee Cassis II, Daniel Lee Cassis II, and Mark Rankin; and great-great-nephews, Jack, Adam, and Liam Rankin. A graduate of Charleston High School, Marie served in State government for 41 years as supervisor in the West Virginia Department of Welfare, Division of Audits and Accounts. Upon retirement, Marie worked with her brother, Mose and sister, Josephine in The Strand restaurant. She enjoyed traveling, swimming, golfing, bowling, following her favorite sports teams (the New York Yankees and WVU) and "a-shopping we will go" for her nieces and nephews. Marie was a faithful member of St. George Orthodox Cathedral, the Ladies Guild, and the Phoenician Auxiliary. Marie's life was centered around her family and her church, serving both with all her heart.

Special thanks to her wonderful physician, Dr. Nicholas Cassis Jr.; a host of loving caregivers including Kathy Husson Eid, Mary Sigmon, Mary Johnson, Kiyanna Lewis, Julie Miller, and Latasshia Davenport; dear friends, Karen (Bean) Pauley, Ditty and Gary Markham, Shari Riley, Anita Pridemore, and Ginny and Jennabeth Doss.
