Funeral & Memorial Information
To our friends, club members, loyal customers and members of the wine industry,
It is with great sadness that the DeSouza, Want, and Henley families share the news of the sudden passing of our beloved, Casey.
Casey, our owner, wife, mother, and grandmother, the “Cas” in Casanel, is sadly no longer with us. As some of you know, Casey endured a 23-year battle with Multiple Sclerosis, and on the morning of January 3rd, 2021, she passed away peacefully in her sleep. We are so grateful she is no longer in any more pain.
Casey’s funeral will be held on Friday, January 22nd at 2pm at St. John’s Catholic Church in Leesburg. The church will be following covid guidelines, asking all participants to engage in social distancing, mask-wearing, with space available for 250 participants. There is no reception after the funeral. The funeral will be live streamed at www.facebook.com/stjohnleesburg/videos. It will be available afterwards as well.
A small memorial service with the family is planned for Saturday, January 23rd from Noon to 6pm at Casanel Vineyards & Winery. We encourage small groups to visit throughout the day (at their convenience) but also to wear masks and practice social distancing while observing the memorial.
