Cassady was the Valedictorian for the Hayneville High School class of 1947 and spent her work life in bookkeeping and office management.

She was a long-time member of Bethel Baptist Church in Fort Deposit where she served as church secretary/clerk for forty-six years.

She will be remembered for her love of God, family, church, and Fort Deposit. And, most importantly for her spectacular banana pudding!  Rose loved to sew, crochet, watch Auburn football and play dominoes. (She was a cut-throat domino player.)

A special thanks to the caregivers at Sylacauga Health and Rehab who helped care for Cassady during the past two years and to the ICU Department of Coosa Valley Medical Center who cared for her in her last few days.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Bethel Baptist Church, P.O. Box 261, Fort Deposit, AL 36032.

Pallbearers will be Taylor Cooper, Tyler Cooper, Fred Davison, Eric Ellis, Robert Hunter and Ben Walker.
