Cass worked as a welder at DMC, where she honed her skills and contributed to her community. She cherished quality time spent with her family and friends. She loved indulging in delicious meals at Chickie's & Pete’s, a favorite gathering spot that brought her joy. In her downtime, Cass found peace in crocheting, enjoying game shows, and delving into riveting stories on the ID Network.
