Notes for Sarah Cassels Leverett:
Aunt Cassels was named Cassels after her grandmother's maiden name. I think it is really neat that they did that. It is an unusual name for a first name but at least this way the family is not forgotten. It was very common for the parents to name their children after their maiden name or their mother's maiden name. Aunt Cassels was a nurse. I remember her working only at night. She would sleep in the day and run a fan to keep out the daytime noises and she had her windows covered so it would be dark in there. Aunt Cassels was very good to my mother after my dad died. She kept in touch with her and would want mama to come to her if she was in the hospital.
When Daddy Joe was sick they got a hospital bed and Aunt Cassels put it in a room in her houseso he could stay there instead of in the hospital all the time.
I really loved Aunt Cassels a lot and she is greatly missed by our family.
I have no bad memories of her at all. I know that when she would get mad at Barbara and Charlene she would pinch them very hard with her fingers. I really don't ever remember her getting onto me about anything but I am sure if I needed it she did not hesitate. As long as I can remember she had white hair. It was so pretty I thought.
