Rosemarie (Dee Dee) Casey Memorial Scholarship

Amount: up to $2000 per academic year, renewable for up to four years

Eligibility: 8th grade students

This scholarship is established by her husband, John "Jack" Casey, in remembrance of Rosemarie Casey (1934 to 2012).  She was a loving, caring wife, mother, and friend for 54 years.  Her three sons, daughters-in-law, five grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren loved her unconditionally, and she returned that love a hundredfold.  She was a devout Catholic who attended religious instruction, volunteered in establishing the Monsignor Clark School Library, and taught Sunday school and CCD in her early years.  She was extremely wise and taught her family by example.  We know that her support of education with this scholarship will bring a smile to her cheek in God's Holy Kingdom.
