Billie Jean Casey
Billie Jean Casey, 79, passed away Tuesday August 11, 2015.
She was born on February 1, 1936 in Lakeside, WA to Howard T. Varney and Mary B. Carroll. Billie lived most of her life in the Bremerton area after marrying her husband Charles (Don) Casey in April 1954. She raised four children, Billie Jean Ryan-Howard of Kent, WA, Donald K. Casey of Florence, MT, Christopher M. Casey and Patrick J. Casey of Lake Tapps, WA.
Following retirement, Billie and Don moved to Leitchfield, KY until moving to Ephrata in 1993. Billie battled with medical issues for many years but her family made sure she was able to enjoy many adventures after the loss of her husband in 2001. She cruised to Alaska several times, Mexico, and the Caribbean and yearly trips to California, Nevada and Arizona to see family.
She was always there for her two sisters and their families as they preceded her in death. Family was the most important thing to Billie. Billie is preceded in death by her husband Don Casey, her son, Christopher Casey, and her two sisters, Mary Scott and Judy Hill.
Funeral services will be held on Monday, August 31, 2015 at 11:00 at Saint Anthony’s Catholic Church in Renton WA. Reception and lunch will follow at the church. A Rosary Service will be held on Sunday, August 30, 2015.
