Susan O'Campo Casey Obituary (1920 - 2008)

Susan O'Campo Casey "Nana" PLEASANT VIEW - Today, March 13, 2008, our beloved mother, grandmother and sister, Susan Casey, or as most of us lovingly refer to her as, Nana, has gone to be reunited with her true love, and husband, Tim. We rejoice in knowing that Nana has been welcomed with open arms into Heaven to be with our Lord Jesus Christ. Nana was born in Santa Ana California to Frank and Juanita O'Campo on March 3, 1920. She married Timothy Casey and together they raised 5 children; Betty Burns (Ed) Utah, Gloria Reather (Mike) Oregon, Frank Parr, California, Ronnie Parra, California, Alex Parra (Sharon) California. Nana experienced a lot in her 88 years, she held various jobs throughout her life; such as a welder at a ship yard in California, a taxi cab driver, managed a Laundromat and was a Beauty Operator, just to name a few. Nana also did various volunteer works; she especially enjoyed volunteering at St. Mary's Hospital in Long Beach California. Her greatest love and most rewarding job was devoted wife and mother. She took great pride in caring for her family and home. When not busy with work and family, Nana enjoyed bowling, painting, and even tried her hand at various crafts. Her most beloved activity was always golf. Nana was very proud of the many trophies and ribbons she acquired over the years. She always loved singing while busy in the kitchen; she especially enjoyed when her grandchildren would chime in and help her when she "forgot" the words. Nana loved her family more than anything and passed away at home surrounded by her loved ones, just the way she would have wanted. We will miss her everyday, but we know she is at peace with the Lord and is awaiting the day that we will all be together again. Nana is survived by her 5 children; 20 grandchildren; 56 great-grandchildren; 10 great-great-grandchildren; 2 sisters and 1 brother. We would like to express our gratitude and thanks for the loving care provided by Gina Price and all the other nurses and CNA's at The Community Nursing Services through hospice care and also a special thank you to Chaplain Steven Dobbins for his prayers and providing the gift of music to Nana and the ability to make her smile. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held in Santa Ana California. We love you Nana and we look forward to the day we will be with you again.
