Jean Irene DeNoon Cassity Geddes went to be with her Lord and Savior on January 19, 2026

where she was living and being cared for by her son Donald Cassity and daughter-in-law Annie in Sweetwater, TN.

Jean was born August 7, 1932 in Olathe, Kansas where she grew up and spent most of her young adult life.

Jean leaves behind a legacy of life through her three sons and one daughter:

George Cassity of Henderson, Nevada, Robert Cassity of Cleveland, Tennessee and Donald Cassity of Sweet water, Tennessee and daughter Kathryn Cassity-Schmidt of Solomon, Kansas.

It’s through these children that Jean became a grandmother, great grandmother and a great great grandmother. Terms of endearment that leaves each of them with pieces of her heart.

Jean excelled in her career as a cosmetologist, owning and running her own salon in Olathe, Kansas for many years. It was through her business that she made life long friends, and many more as she ventured out into other areas of work life paths.

Jean possessed a warm, unique personality and an embracing passion for life. Her charisma for laughter was contagious and her love for the Lord unwavering.

Though her loss will be grieved by many, those that knew her should honor her life by always remembering her fun loving ways and how she lived her life with joy and enthusiasm.
