Mary Cecele Casey, born in St. Paul, MN on November 22, 1927, died on November 9th, 2020 from natural causes at Our Lady of Peace Hospice Residence in St. Paul, MN at almost 93 years old.
After Mary graduated from St. Joseph's Academy in 1945, she attended a business college in Minneapolis to develop skills for office work. She met Thomas A. Casey in the advertising business, and they were married on Feb. 3rd, 1951. Mary is survived by 3 children, Constance M. Casey, Thomas Casey and Brian Casey. Her daughter, Candace Casey, predeceased her. She is also survived by her sister, Jean Marguerite Cecil, age 90, from Columbia, Missouri, and predeceased by her brother, Robert Earl Sausen from Morgantown, WV.
In 1966, as a divorcee and single mother, she worked as a legal secretary and stenographer in St. Paul, MN. Later in life, she reaffirmed her creative eye for bringing a space to life. One of her joys for many years was being a master planner creating interior designs for Dayton's customers. She also used her artistic flair for sewing clothes, upholstery and window coverings.
Mary enjoyed reading, movies and going out for pizza. She also regarded feminism and women's rights as core to her intense interest in keeping abreast of the political landscape in our state and country. In addition, she helped many students with writing and editing their college papers.
She was a strong survivor living independently at Episcopal Homes of Minnesota up until the last few months of her life. She had an essential auditory processing problem along with hearing impairment, some imbalances in her system and unresolved childhood trauma for most of her life. The combination of these issues brought up many coping challenges. She said she would have liked to have known her children and grandchildren more but often struggled with difficult states of being and how to bridge with others.
Mary's life ended with comforting love as she reached out to give voice to her needs with the support of her daughter in the company of the compassionate caregivers at Our Lady of Peace.
