Mrs. Cashwell was a bubbly, spunky, and sweet lady who thought her family was the most wonderful thing on earth.  She amazed the younger children in her singing of tunes they had never heard before.  She enjoyed reading, sewing, baking, and watching her beloved “Westerns”.  There was a special place in her heart for her dogs and cats as well.

A service to celebrate her life is set for 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 10, 2024, in the Wallace Assembly of God Church, officiated by Pastor Leo Bracken.  Family will greet friends at a visitation in the church prior to the service at 2:00 p.m.  Interment will follow the service in the Rockfish Memorial Cemetery in Wallace.  In lieu of flowers, family requests that contributions, in her memory, be considered to the Wallace Assembly of God Church.
