Casey graduated from Warren G. Harding High School.
She worked at General Electric, Dana Street, for over 30 years. She was a stem machine operator in Pars among other jobs, where she was loved by many.
She spent her retirement bird watching, playing games on her computer and monitoring the Purple Martins at Mosquito Lake, a task she did for 15 years and loved doing. She also loved star gazing, especially when there were meteors at the time and her favorite group of stars was Pleiades.

Home of the Week: Unique-shaped Amesbury home offers water views
Year built 1993 Square feet 2,504 Bedrooms 2 Baths 2 full Sewer Private Water Public Taxes $13,886 (2025) How many walls does a home in the shape of a tetradecagon have? Not telling. One can bring an abacus to tally the answer, but focusing on sliding beads is a certain way to miss out on key features of this home overlooking — and on — the banks of the Merrimack River. On both levels, the river-facing panels of clear glass capture the water flowing past the house along with the private dock that stretches 120 feet into the river and is crossed — like a T — by a 40-foot section. The 1.1-acre lot includes 127 feet of waterfront, according to the listing agent, From the driveway, the second floor of the home can be accessed from a patio and a set of stairs on the left side of the home. Advertisement A set of stairs from the driveway leads to the second floor. Ten Mangoes Photography There is a direct connection from the driveway to the first floor by entering the 216-square-foot garage under the home. This area shares space with a kitchenette on the left and a 324-square-foot workshop on the right. There is also a 48-square-foot full bath with a porcelain pedestal sink, a shower insert with subway tile backsplash, and carpeted floor. A doorway leads to the rest of the first floor and a 323-square-foot carpeted common room with two large river-view windows directly ahead. To the right is a 210-square-foot flex room — now staged as a bedroom — with its own pair of large windows, carpeted floor, recessed lights, and a curtained closet. Advertisement A stairwell on the left side of the common room connects to the second floor, arriving in the 836-square-foot area. This is where the aforementioned clear glass is found installed into five double-pane doors that open onto a wide deck. The deck runs along the entire front of the home and also hosts a hot tub in the left corner. The large windows in the living room offer views of the river. Ten Mangoes Photography The flooring on the second level flows out from a refinished white oak nautical sunburst to the edges of the living room, which has been freshly painted and has cathedral ceilings, recessed lighting, and a large ceiling fan. For winter months, there is a pellet stove to warm things up. With new light fixtures, the kitchen occupies a 144-square-foot corner on the right side of the house. There is an island with a Formica-topped counter that has an overhang, creating seating for two. Beyond the island is the kitchen proper with all new General Electric stainless steel appliances, including the electric stove. The cabinets were recently painted bright white, and the upper-level cabinets have clear windowed doors. The backsplash is tile. Countertops are also Formica. A dining area is set up next to the kitchen island. The primary bedroom features a double closet and wall-to-wall carpeting. Ten Mangoes Photography The second half of the floor contains the two bedrooms separated by a full bath. The bath is located at the end of a hall that first hosts the full-size washer and dryer on the right. The bathroom has tile on the floor and halfway up the walls, a single white vanity with a marble top, and a whirlpool soaking tub behind a shower curtain. Advertisement The two bedrooms are both 270 square feet, both are carpeted, both have large closets with bifold doors, and both have recessed lighting. They also both have two large windows that generate significant natural light. One is set up to be the home office.

Column: On an August anniversary, memories of the atomic bomb from a crew member who dropped it on Nagasaki
I was sitting with an old soldier named Ray Gallagher. He held in his hands a small doll. The doll's name was Marianne and it was the doll that he took with him to war. It had been given to him by his niece, Margaret Gillund, and on Aug. 9, 1945, Marianne and Gallagher, an assistant flight engineer, boarded a plane named Bockscar along with 12 other men and a bomb called Fat Man and headed for the skies over the Japanese city of Nagasaki. They dropped the atomic bomb. In an instant, tens of thousands of people were reduced to ash. This was three days after another plane, the Enola Gay, and its crew dropped an atomic bomb named Little Boy on Hiroshima and, in an instant, tens of thousands more were ash. Accounting for those who died from the effects of radiation, it's estimated that as many as 70,000 died in Nagasaki and 140,000 in Hiroshima. T.S. Eliot famously called April the 'cruelest month,' but for me and many others, August grabbed that title in 1945 when the world was changed. Or, as Kurt Vonnegut put it in his 1963 novel 'Cat's Cradle,' 'The day the world ended.' Those who fought in World War II, or who worried for their loved ones who were fighting in WWII, are a diminishing crowd. And soon there will be none. But there were plenty in 1995 when I met Gallagher. He had come to the Union League Club to talk to some kids about the war. They were from local schools, gathered on a frigid Saturday morning to hear Gallagher say, 'War is awful, oh God. There's so much to be lost. When you go to war, you're not a hero. Everybody who goes to war would like to be brave. But you can be a coward. The whole idea of war is to get in and get out. Even now, when I enter a room, I'm looking at the windows and the doors … looking for the way to get out.' He came home from the war late in 1945, married his wife Mary, had two children, and settled into a quiet life in the Gage Park neighborhood and a long career with General Electric. (My father, a Marine, came home from fighting in the Pacific, too). There was a documentary film crew in the library. 'This is living history,' whispered a teacher in the room. It was the 50th anniversary year, memories from white-haired soldiers filled the pages of newspapers and TV screens. But by 1995 it was becoming increasingly controversial to mark the bombings with celebratory flag-waving. The dropping of those atomic bombs ushered in the chilling concept of doomsday, and in the ensuing decades, the dropping of the bombs ceased to be what Winston Churchill called 'a miracle of deliverance.' The film being made was called 'The Men Who Brought the Dawn.' Its director and producer, Jon Felt, said, '(We work to) put the viewer into the context of the times surrounding World War II and its final days, and hope to inform the public about the attitudes and personalities of the men who flew these missions. We do not get involved with ethics or moralities, politics or judgments. It is focused on the deeds of men.' Gallagher is in the film. He died in 1999, but is in my memory every August. He was 73 when I met him. Not a trained public speaker, he told what was essentially a series of anecdotes, random but potent. Eventually, it came time for questions, and a forest of tiny hands rose. 'Did the doll give you any luck?' asked a girl. 'It gave me the feeling of home,' Gallagher said, the doll cradled in his gnarled hands. 'If I wasn't thinking of home at the time all I had to do was look at Marianne. She always told me, 'You still have a home.'' Marianne went with him to an air base in Utah. He carried the doll with him on every training mission and to the island of Tinian in the Marianas, base of operations for the 509th Composite Bomb Group. Marianne was there in the sky over Nagasaki. After the bomb was dropped, after the war was over, Gallagher came home. Marianne came too and when Margaret Gillund grew up and became a school teacher, and when her history classes got around to World War II, Marianne went to school and was used as a powerful show-and-tell. Gillund was there at the Union League Club, along with Gallagher's wife. They heard him answer the question, 'Do you have regrets? Do you feel guilty?' Answer: 'I'd be lyin' if I didn't say I did. My wife Mary and myself have been invited back to Japan many times. I wouldn't go. I think we done a lot of good but we done a lot of bad … But we done what we were supposed to do.' Felt, the filmmaker, whispered to me, 'Ray is the most human gentleman I know.' Another question: 'Fifty years later, is it appropriate to reassess the decision to drop the bombs?' Gallagher answered: 'If someone hit you with a steel pipe would you shoot them with a gun? You had to live those years and walk those miles.' At the program's outset, Felt tried to help the kids' understanding by offering some musty statistics. He told of a Gallup Poll taken in late August 1945, weeks after the bombings. The poll asked people whether they approved or disapproved of the decision to drop the bombs. 'Eighty-five percent approved,' said Felt. He called an end to the question-and-answer session and asked that the kids remain in place so the crew could film a few more shots. Gallagher took a sip of water and received a loving pat on the back from his wife. One boy shouted, not a question but a statement: 'You were a killer.' Gallagher said, 'We had to drop 'em. There was a monster loose and that monster was war and we had to kill the monster.' With that, he removed himself from the wooden chair in which he had been sitting for three hours. He started to walk toward his wife and niece but stopped, turned around and walked back to a table on which the doll Marianne had been lying. He picked up the doll and asked, 'Was it OK? Did I do good?'

First U.S. born male saint could be from Wisconsin. Who are the female American saints?
Almost 70 years after his death, the Solanus Casey Foundation is building momentum to make the Wisconsin-born priest a saint. If it succeeds, he would be the first U.S.-born male ever canonized. Two saints were born in the United States: Elizabeth Ann Seton, born in New York in 1774 and canonized in 1975; and Katharine Mary Drexel, born in Philadelphia in 1858 and canonized in 2000. Kateri Tekakwitha was born in Ossernenon near what is now Auriesville, New York 1656 and canonized in 2012. However, she was born in a Mohawk village; the United States didn't exist at the time. She became the first Indigenous saint. More: Hundreds lined up daily to meet Wisconsin-born priest. Now, he's on path to sainthood. The first male saint tied to the United States was John Neumann, born in 1811 and canonized in 1977. However, he was born in Prachatice, Czechia. Casey was born in Oak Grove, Wisconsin, northwest of Milwaukee in Dodge County, in 1870. He was the sixth child in a family of 10 boys and six girls. As he grew older, Casey took on a variety of jobs, such as lumberjack, prison guard and trolley operator. He was ordained in 1904 by Archbishop Sebastian Messmer at Milwaukee's St. Francis of Assisi Church.
