This was a woman with a delightful sense of humor and a heart big enough and generous enough to engulf the world. Her cognitive functioning was sharp and discerning to the very end. Betty Casey was an example for all good citizens to emulate. All her friends, especially including her relatives, will miss her dearly.
Deepest condolences. I met her at Kinzua through my mom, and she was the life of the party, always getting people going. She will be greatly missed. Much love and prayers.
Pam, Sandy, and families:
So sorry to see your Mom’s passing. I just lost my Mom a week ago.
Remember they were friends so thought I would send this message to all of you. Our grief is truly real and so is the knowledge they are with those who have gone before us. Thoughts and sympathy are with you all!
Betty was a wonderful neighbor to us on Dartmouth St. Although my mom hasn’t lived there in many, many years, I still remember Betty with much warmth – no specific memories that stand out really, but I definitely remember her with a smile on my face. She was very accepting. On the rare occasions I would visit Warren, I would stop by to see if I could catch Betty home, but rarely did! One time years ago I did though, with my kids in tow, and she was very warm and welcoming… My deepest condolences to all of you.

Betty was a warm and welcoming person. I remember her and Joe from the Saint Paul’s Lutheran Church,of which I was a member and my parents years ago. I always enjoyed talking to Betty and Joe over the years.
I grew up in Warren and lived there many years,I am now a resident of Chautauqua County, NY. My deepest sympathy to all the Casey family.
