Geneva Casey (1925-2021)
Mrs. Geneva Casey, age 95, of Forrest City, died Tuesday, March 9, 2021. She had been in poor health for the past year and a half.
Mrs. Casey was born Aug. 15, 1925, in St. Francis County, and was the daughter of George Washington Morrow Padgett and Emma Watts Padgett. She lived in St. Francis County all of her life, retired from General Industries and was a Baptist.
After retirement, she continued to work on the farm. Her cows were her babies. She loved nothing better than to be out in the pasture among them, especially when there were calves aplenty. All she had to do is call and they would come running. Crocheting and quilting filled her winter months when weather confined her to the house. Fishing and catfish was her other passion, give her a cane pole, a worm and a seat on the river bank and she would be content.
Mrs. Casey married Fremen Casey in 1941, and he preceded her in death in 1976.
She is survived by two daughters, Connie Huey and husband, Donald, of Cherry Valley and Cathy Sandra Coats and husband, Mike, of Colt; two sons, Ronald Casey and Rickey Casey, both of Forrest City; one sister, Carolyn Mitchusson of
Wynne; 11 grandchildren, several great-grandchildren and several great-greatgrandchildren.
She was also preceded in death by one son, Ralph Casey; two grandchildren, Jay and Jody; two sisters, Myrtle Leslie and Julie Walls and five brothers, Louis Padgett, Raymond Padgett, Virgil Padgett, George Padgett and Wilburn Padgett.
Visitation for Mrs. Casey will begin at 10 a.m., Saturday, March 13, 2013, at Stevens Funeral Home and continue until the graveside service at 11 a.m., at Forrest Park Cemetery.
