Doris Elaine Cassidy nee Levy, 94

Beloved mother of Robert (Maria) Cassidy, James (Vera) Cassidy, Peter Cassidy and Patricia Levy (Allen) Andrews, William (Eileen) Cassidy, Joseph Cassidy and the late Thomas Cassidy. Proud grandmother of David, Irene, Monette, Daniel, Rebecca, Jacob (Nyssa), Nicole, Melissa, Christina, John, Joanne and Doris. Cherished great grandmother of 18. Dear sister of the late Eduard (Delores) Levy and the late Alice (the late Kappy) Kaplan. Doris is remembered as a "force of nature" who influenced and affected everyone she knew, even strangers. Her tenacious spirit, her creativity, her insistence on thinking for herself, her love of music and of singing, and especially her love of the water, whether swimming or boating. She loved her seven children deeply. She lived long, laughed heartily, loved passionately, and pulled no punches. May she be remembered among the mourners of Israel. May her memory be for a blessing. May she rest in peace. To keep everyone safe and healthy, the chapel service and interment are private. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the National Wildlife Federation, PO Box 1583, Merrifield, VA 22116-1583 www.nwf.org.
