Words of remembrance were shared by her son, Michael Cassavoy.
Scripture readings from the Old Testament were read by Robert Cassavoy, son; and Sue Stone, daughter, read from the New Testament.
Father Dodson read the gospel and Father Bilodeau delivered the homily.
Offertory gifts were presented at the altar by her great-grandchildren Andrew Cassavoy, Ben Cassavoy and Maggie Cassavoy.
Rev. Peter O'Leary, pastor of the church, led a prayer service, with the family Friday evening at the Pruneau-Polli Funeral Home in Barre. Father Bilodeau also led a prayer service Saturday morning.

Eva was the inspiration for me when I joined the Senior Center exercise program a few years back. She would come in carrying fresh water for us. Having moved away I had not seen her for a few years. She was such a delight. May she Rest In Peace. My sympathy to the family.
