Denise Cassady

1955 - 2024

Denise Cassady, 68
Oldham County
Denise Cassady of Oldham County was called home peacefully after her valiant fight with cancer on April 21, 2024. Denise was preceded in passing by her father and mother; James "Henry" and Mabel Cassady.
She is survived by her sister; Cathy C. Oehman (David), her daughters; Amanda Weimer (Michael) and Kimberly Kiesewetter (Jason), a son; John (Heather) and eight grandchildren; David, William, Ella, Hayden, Natalie, Issac, Olive and Hope.
To say that she has left an immeasurable hole in the hearts of many would be an understatement. The way eyes lit up and her whole face smiled when she spoke about the things she loved most: kids, grandkids, fishing, painting, crafting with her sister, gardening and virtually anything outside, will be remembered in our hearts forever. Strong, capable and loving is the way she will be described by anyone who was lucky enough to know her. Even during her battle with cancer she never stopped caring or fighting for the ones she loved. She was a force to be reckoned with, an incredible woman, daughter, sister, mother, grandmother and friend who will be deeply missed.
Denise proudly served Oldham County Schools for the last 34 years, first as a bus driver and finishing as a Plant Operator at South Oldham High School. When she wasn't working you'd find her with her family, spending time somewhere outside or traveling to her beloved beach at Jekyll Island.
Funeral services will be Thursday, April 25 at 2 p.m. at Stoess Funeral Home in Crestwood with burial to follow in Floydsburg Cemetery. Visitation will be Thursday from 11 a.m. until time of service. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking donations be made to preserve one of her favorite places the Jekyll Island Foundation in her name at jekyllislandfoundation.org.
