Mrs. Winnifred R. (Woodward) Cass of St. Johnsbury, Vt., died Friday, July 6, 2007, at the St. Johnsbury Health and Rehabilitation Center at the age of 82. She was born Nov. 23, 1924, in Cabot, Vt., the last surviving child of the late Raymond and Evelyn (Daigneault) Woodward. She was a graduate of Lyndon Institute's Class of 1942. On Dec. 19, 1942 Winnie married Dale Cass. They lived near Willoughby Lake and were caretakers of the properties owned by the Dr. Harter family for 25 years. Later, they moved to East Haven. Winnie worked at Vermont Tap & Die Company in Lyndonville, Vt., for several years and then Northeast Tool Company in Lyndon for several more years as a bookkeeper, retiring in 1986. She also was a bookkeeper for the Tap & Die Credit Union, now known as North Country Federal Credit Union in Lyndonville for nearly 30 years. Winnie was an active member of Eastern Star chapter 28 of West Burke and Lyndon since 1964. She held several positions there, including Ruth, district director, and was worthy matron several times throughout the years. In 2005, she was commissioned grand representative to Nova Scotia and the Prince Edwards Islands, which she enjoyed visiting. Reading, ceramics, knitting, crocheting, and puzzles brought her much enjoyment. But her greatest enjoyment was spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Survivors include four children, Louise Wells and husband Raymond of St. Johnsbury, Edward Cass and wife Gloria of Hartland, Vt., Priscilla Rossier and husband Anthony of St. Albans, Vt., and Thomas Cass of New York; 10 grandchildren; 10 great- grandchildren; her sister in-law, Barbara Woodward of West Burke, Vt.; and nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband, Dale Cass in 1982; her son, Stanley Cass in the early 1970s; her brother, Ralph Woodward; and her sister and brother in-law, Marie and George Hill Graveside services will be held Friday July 20, 2007, at 2 p.m. at the Woodmont Cemetery in East Burke. There will be no visiting hours. Memorial donations made in her memory may be directed to Calex Ambulance, P.O. Box 570, St. Johnsbury, VT 05819. Arrangements are by Guibord Funeral Home of Lyndonville.
