Kingdom Hall in Friendship, Wisconsin. Mr. George Nowicki will officiate. Visitation will be from 1 p.m. until the time of service at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovahs Witnesses.
Eleanor was born June 04, 1923 in Crawford County, Wisconsin to Oscar Harrison and Cannie (Fry) Dary. She married George W. Cass on April 6, 1941 in Dubuque, Iowa. They lived in Madison, WI until WWII when she became a military wife, joining him as he moved around the country in his military service as a First Lieutenant in the Army Air Corps. After his discharge they returned to Madison soon after moving to Jefferson County farming for a few years. They moved to Watertown in 1953, beginning their business, Cass Custom Cabinets. They moved to Dodge County in 1958, finally moving to Adams County in 1966. They lived in the Dellwood area until Georges death in 2007. Ellie lived at Liberty Manor since 2008.
Ellie was a loyal and dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She was a great homemaker, and will be remembered for her pies and cookies making a special favorite for each one in the family. Guests were always greeted with coffee and some homemade dessert. Ellie also enjoyed gardening and her spring floral decorating.
She and George spent their entire life together, 24/7, as constant companions, making adjustment to his loss most difficult.
Together, after experiencing the horrors of war, they were drawn to Gods Word and the promise of Gods Kingdom to come and His will being done on Earth as it is done in Heaven; thus a restoration of paradise where there will be no more war, sickness and death and then Gods original purpose for man is fulfilled. This is the Good News of the Kingdom, Jesus proclaimed and they dedicated their life to sharing this in their ministry for the next six decades.

I was so sorry to hear about Ellie. She was very special to me and I will always remember our times together when I lived in wisconsin and the phone calls and letters. May you find comfort in the promises found in Jehovah’s word.
We were so sorry to hear of the death of your mother. There is so much comfort in God’s word when we lose a loved one. John 14:13-15 talks about Jehovah’s compassion and yearning to ressurect those in the memorial tombs. He will bring the last of death to nothing Cor 15:26. Our prayers are with your family. Christian love, Chuck & Carol Dieter
We appreciate that when the enemy death strikes, grief can be great, even though we have the marvelous hope of the resurrection. This hope truly helps us to "not sorrow just as the rest also do who have no hope." (1 Thessalonians 4:13)
Be assured that our thoughts and prayers are with all friends and family of Ellie during this difficult time. We know that as we draw close to Jehovah in prayer, "he will sustain you."–Psalm 55:22
Christian Love,
Bill & Cindy Hazelquist
Ellie was indeed a kind and generous person. She is especially special to us as she gave us a most beautiful gift…the chance to learn the truth about the Bible and Jehovah God. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all and we join you in looking forward to seeing her again soon.
Love, Merrill and Sandy Webb and family
Ron & Linda, Van & Linda
Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
This is a time of sorrow, and also a time of joy from Jehovah’s viewpoint. Ellie (and George) have run the coarse and they were victorious.
What beautiful memories and examples they have left for you!!!
We never could have had more wonderful friends. We will always cherish our visits with them. We sure will miss their hugs and kisses (but only for a little while).
We look forward to welcoming them back, as we know you will also.
You are all in our prayers and we look forward to seeing you all, soon.
Love,
Fred and Marge Dieter
Georgia, I really enjoyed working with Ellie. She was truly a joy and much fun to talk to. I will really miss her. Take care!
Ron, Dian, Van, Walter, and all your loved ones who knew your mom, my sympathy goes out to you at this time of your mothers passing. She was a wonderful sweet aunt who was always so kind to me; I will miss her so. Love your cousin Randy.
I’ll miss my "Grandma Ellie" as I do my "Grandpa George." She was always so loving towards all of us and full of spunk. Her inquiring nature and love of learning was/is truely a great gift of posterity. Will always remember the ever present and full candy basket on her and Grandpa’s shelf. Each visit there I’d feed the sweet tooth and she’d say: "Jared, you eat too much candy. You’re going to become a diabetic if you keep that up." Then she’d go and refill it 🙂 Think she liked watching me eat that candy as much as I did. Love you Grandma!
My heart goes out to all of the members of your family. Aunt Ellie is leaving many cherished memories. She will live on forever in all of our memories. We will all miss her physically & never forget her. She is happy now, once again with uncle George!
Mom’s love for all of us kids as we grew up was always obvious to most persons who met her and my dad. Since I was prone to being sick quite frequently when I was young, It was her nurturing that made me a happy though perhaps somber child. She new just how to keep me involved during those times, and also when I was feeling good. It was her great love for research and wanting to know all she could, that I remember well. She taught me how to research and constantly educate myself through self study and sharing with others what I learned. It benifits me to this day and always enters my thoughts when I’m doing personal study. I will miss our frequent exciting discussions of what we each discovered about events and history which we both loved. Just as she did for me, I would hope that I will be remembered for similar love. I will miss her dearly
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you for your loss. Ellie helped me to grow as a person when I was younger, and I will NEVER forget her!! With love to all!
Our Mom Ellie will be missed every day, she was such a vital force is all her kids lives, always there for them with encouragement and yes, council too, always telling us to keep the most important things first in our lives,and to rely on Jehovah and his promise. She was my Mom for a lot of years since I lost mine so early in my life,and I was her "first Linda’, sometimes telling Ron to listen to me and setting a good example in marriage, service to Jehovah and many other things in our daily lives and her children and grandchildren, and great grandchildren will always remember her as their loving little grandma. She is just sleeping for a little while before we see her again.
It was astounding how she kept she and George in a healthful spiritual routine. She prayed about everything going on her life and those of her children. It took me awhile after becoming a part of the family to realize that she loved me. At times she would speak up in my behalf which I’m sure Van didn’t always appreciate but it forged a close friendship that I valued – often called me
"her Linda". I loved her and will miss her.
Life will never be the same without her! I sure did and do love her and everything she was and what she stood for. I hope I let her know that. It is good to know she has fallen asleep in death and just awaiting the call to a resurrection to a better life on earth and the paradise she knew Jehovah God would create once again. She had such great faith! Her faith comforted her knowing she would once again be reunite with her beloved soul-mate ‘Georgie Boy’to add forever to the 66 years of their lasting partnership. They were such a great example and inspiration individually and together!!! The end of an era of integrity and loyalty. Oh how I look forward to seeing them again!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wally and family So sorry for your loss
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Ron and Linda and your families. I am sure she led a full and wonderful life. May peace be with you always. Love you. Kathy.
A "good name" with Jehovah God is worth more than anything else – it is what George and Ellie left as a legacy. For that, we expect to see them soon in the "new earth". We thank them for their good example and giving spirit. May we try to imitate their good qualities. May we all have Jehovah’s blessing.
We all will miss my Mom very much. She was really very driving force in all our lives. Just hope we can follow in her footsteps. She is in the safest place possible; in Jehovah’s memory.
