Sister Casanna Upshaw Spiegner

Mrs. Casanna Spiegner, age 94, of Birmingham, Alabama went to heaven on December 7, 2021. She was born in Birmingham and was one of eleven children born to the late Elbert and Winnie Upshaw. She was educated in Birmingham and graduated from Parker High School and was a longtime member of Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church. Casanna was known for her independence, quick wit, and enthusiastic sense of humor….she never met a stranger. Always known as an expert seamstress, "Cat" as she was fondly called, was always the "go to" for family and friends, when something needed mending, altered or custom made. Her fancy clothes were never without matching shoes, bag, and hat! Her grandchildren appreciated the dumplings, homemade yeast rolls and that cornbread dressing. She will be missed. Preceded in death by her loving husband Willie F. Spiegner, eight sisters, Sanganella Steward, Frankie Walker Kelly, Gertrude Brady, Ethel Cunningham, Georgia Snoddy, Bertha Upshaw, Mary Upshaw, and Lula Jones: two brothers Willie "Jim" Upshaw and Monroe "Bro" Upshaw.
