Cassie was born June 13, 1948 in Cushing, Oklahoma to L.H. “Bud” and
Betty Mae Pound. Cassie graduated from Cushing High School and on December 21, 1968 she
married Jack George Kennedy. Cassie was a cosmetologist, seamstress, and a very ambitious
Weight Watchers Leader. Cassie’s love for her family was undeniable. If you met Cassie she
was going to share the love she had for her daughters and grandchildren with you. She was a
very proud Mom and GiGi. Cassie never met a stranger and would quickly gain friendships
through her welcoming personality, her contagious laughter and her love of life. She “adopted”
people either because they needed a mother or just meal. They were a part of her family
forever.

Cassie was proceeded in death by her parents and her brother, Terry Pound; her in-laws, Floyd
Harmon and Bertha Lee Kennedy; her brother-in-law, Floyd “Bud” Kennedy Jr.
Cassie is survived by her husband of 48 years, Jack Kennedy; her daughters, Denae Kennedy,
Jacklyn Kennedy and husband Lonnie Rostockyj, Allison Kennedy Louis and husband Donald,
and Sarah Kennedy Davidson and husband Brad; five grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren
with another one on the way; and very special friends of many years, Louretta Denton and Carinne Crider; along with many cousins, aunts and uncles.

  4. Jack,
    Lisa and I will be praying for you and your family. I will always remember Cassie for the way she answered the phone on those late night callouts for AT&T. I always felt guilty calling and waking her, but she always said ” no problem, hold on Jack is ready to go”. She was always joking around when Lisa and I would run into her around town. I can’t imagine the loss you are feeling , but I know the good Lord will be there to help get you through this.

  5. So sorry for your loss. Cassie was a great & funny lady. She will be missed deeply.

    We are so sorry to hear of Cassie’s passing. Both of our boys spent many hours at Cassie’s and Jack’s house through the years. They were always welcomed with her loving heart and infectious smile. She will be truly missed. You will be in our prayers as you face the difficult times ahead. Know that we are here for you if you need us.

  21. Cassie was my childhood friend. We spent so much time at each other’s homes. I learned to like liver and onions at her house. My mother’s rule was you ate what was served when invited for supper. So I ate the liver and onions at Cassie’s house. She moved to Cushing and our paths went in different directions. But I still think of Cassie as my good friend. Keep watch over us now and enjoy your dad, mom, and Terry.

  22. Dona Saulsbery-Leach

    Cassie was such a ginger girl. Not a redhead, but a ginger like her mother. Even though she was a “Cushing” person, she always owned us in Drumright. She will be in good company in heaven with some of our best classmates and family. Heaven got another angel. Blessings to those of us she left behind. Amen

  23. Shelley Greenawalt

    Cassie was my very first Weight Watchers leader. Through the years after W.W. I kept up with her through Carinne. She was an amazing woman who will be greatly missed.

    We were 2 redheads that loved each other deeply. We went through school together – played dolls – jacks – card games and many slumber parties! I cherish our childhood memories. We had quality time last January when Brandon was born – we caught up years of life and family. I miss her big smile and kind generous heart but we will see each other again in heaven and catch up a few more years – what a day that will be – no night – no sickness – just lots of hugs and kisses and family back to father Abraham!!! I can’t wait Jesus!!! You are an awesome God!!!!

  28. Cassie and I were childhood friends and our parents were close friends. Cassie loved life and never met a stranger. Her smile and infectious laugh will be missed. My prayers are with her family. I will keep her spirit alive in my memory

Leave Your Condolence
