Margaret Cason, caring mother, grandmother
Margaret E. Cason had never ventured far from home when her son decided to take her on a family trip to Florida.
"By far, it was the farthest she'd ever been from home, " said a son, Randall Cason of Erlanger. "She was a little iffy on the whole idea at first, but she wound up having a great time. She really enjoyed traveling."
Mrs. Cason wound up accompanying her son on two more trips to Florida, visiting St. Petersburg and the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, eating out and having a great time.
Mrs. Cason, 89, formerly of Erlanger, died Sunday at St. Elizabeth Medical Center South, Edgewood. She was a homemaker.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Harlan Cason.
Mrs. Cason had few hobbies, but one thing she did enjoy was attending her grandchildren's sporting events, especially basketball games.
Although soft-spoken in her later years while living at Rosedale Manor, Mrs. Cason was known as an outspoken and caring mother and grandmother in her prime.
"When she talked, we definitely listened, " Randall Cason said.
