Tina CASS Obituary

CASS (Stewart), Tina Mae Tina left this life peacefully on July 20th surrounded with love from family, friends and her adoring husband after a brave and courageous battle with cancer. Tina was born June 3, 1957, to Marjorie and Raymond Stewart. She attended Harman Elementary and graduated from Oakwood HS in 1976. She obtained a degree from the University of Cincinnati. Tina was an owner and the Office Manager of the best restaurant in Dayton, the Oakwood Club, started by her parents in 1962. She took great pride in the family business and the quality of service and success she and Lance have achieved since taking over. Tina thought of all who worked with her as her extended family. Her presence and personality will be sorely missed there by Lance, her co-workers and the patrons. Tina was the very definition of fun-loving, she had an infectious positive attitude that made her a joy to be with. If you had the pleasure to spend time with her, or attend her parties, you will always remember her and the good times you had with her. She was a sweet, compassionate and wonderful person, who will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Preceded in death by her parents; sister, Candy; in-laws, Dr. William and Peggy Cass; and sister-in-law, Suzi. She is survived by her brothers, Lance Stewart and Grant Stewart (Mary); sister-in-law, Cass Cannon; and many nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her husband, William O. Cass, Jr. (Bill), who worshipped her and cherished every second he spent with her. They were inseparable as they journeyed through life and met every challenge united, supporting and loving each other. Together for 43 years and married for 34 years, no couple was ever a better fit for each other or loved one another more. Special thanks to the doctors, nurses and staff at Kettering Hospital, Radiation Oncology and Kettering Cancer Center for the compassion and magnificent care they provided Tina. They made an unbearable situation bearable and will remember her for her colorful masks. We are indebted to Ohio's Hospice of Dayton for the services it provided and nurses Melissa and Terri for the excellent and tender care they gave Tina. We also thank our dear friend and doctor, Dr. Barry Taylor, for his professional care, advice and emotional support and friends Paula and Andrew for their unwavering help, love and dedication to Tina. Donations can be made on Tina's behalf to Ohio's Hospice of Dayton, 324 Wilmington Ave, Dayton, OH 45420. There will be a private family burial and a celebration of Tina's life will be scheduled at a date to be determined. Further information is available at the website of Schlientz & Moore Funeral Home.

There are only a few people whom you connect with in your lifetime that memorable. Tina Cass was one of those people. She had that rare ability to make others feel appreciated. I truly am sad her life ended way to soon.

It is hard to know how many ties I have thought of Tina over the past year. I remember fondly attending her wedding, and what a happy day that was. I remember how much fun we had making dozens and dozens of deviled eggs for the annual Oakwood Club golf tournament. Another fond memory were the hours the two of us spent decorating the dinning room, bar and planters out front for Christmas. What I admired most about Tina was her ability to roll with the punches and her cheerful attitude. I truly miss the relationship we had.

What I first remember about Tina, was her terrific, friendly smile. She had a fun-loving way about her that was infectious. On more than one occasion, she would encourage me to "lighten" up and have fun. Tina started out as my assistant and took over the office management and accounting side of the business in 1988. She was dedicated to learning everything about the accounting process, even though that was not her first love. Tina was a very hard worker. And would tackle any task that came her way. I remember when we worked together preparing for the Oakwood Club Golf tournaments, back in the 1980s, making deviled eggs. She led the task of boiling and peeling 100 dozen boiled eggs, slicing them, carefully extracting the yolk, turning it into a delicious filling to put back into the white shells. What a Job! We laughed and joked the whole time. Occasionally we would work the Hostess and Coat check jobs together. I think Tina was born to be a "Hostess", so welcoming and so engaging. What I learned from working with Tina was to be kind and more accepting of others. I will miss talking with her.

Bill,
It’s a beautiful tribute to let the world in on your not so secret love for Tina.
She hated that you had to write it, because in her own words...she lived, she died. But what you wrote was the love story in between.
Thank you. I will miss her.

My deepest sympathy to Bill, Lance and his beautiful daughters (Kelly & Melissa), and the many people who knew and loved Tina. She was one-of-a-kind, no question about that - and so beautiful in spirit and in appearance. And FUN? She was hilarious and joyful; I admired her greatly. May she rest in peace and joy, and my warm regards and deepest sympathy to her family.
