LACY MAXWELL CASSADY, of New Port Richey, Florida, formerly of Whiteford, died on Monday, January 14, 2013 in her home with her devoted husband of 43 years, Jesse J. Cassady at her side.

Born on August 31, 1917 in Elk Creek, Virginia, she was a daughter of the late Rex and Janet (Russell) Maxwell.
