Terry Lee Cassel
Terry Lee Cassel peacefully went home, to be with the Lord, Tuesday,
February 16, 2021. His parents, Virgil Sylvester and Serena Elizabeth
Cassel, having passed before him, joined in the heavenly celebration.
Also preceded him in death was his brother, Jerry (Shirley) Cassel, and
father-in-law, Ralph Mumaw.
Born in Greenville, January 1, 1949, he lived a full life enjoying
boating, traveling with great friends, and hosting lasagna parties with
his wife Linda (Mumaw), whom he married May 31, 1985. After
earning his Organ Performance Degree from Taylor University in 1971, he
taught in the Cambridge City School system. He also enjoyed working
alongside his father in the family business, Cassel Insurance Agency,
and later branched out with his own firm, Bradford-Greenville
Insurance. He returned to his teaching roots in the early 1990’s
directing the Valley View Show Choir and teaching general music to
junior/senior high school classes.
There was not a day that went by that he did not enjoy his profession
of music - teaching and performing. He spent most of his life
filling the sanctuaries of local churches with traditional organ music.
He was abundantly, musically talented. It was a joy for him to perform
with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir during a Christmas Spectacular.
For many years, he played Christmas concerts, directed The Oratorio
Society, Handel’s Messiah, and numerous dinner theater programs in the
community.
Surviving in love are his wife, Linda; son, Ben and Tracey (Rauch)
Cassel; daughter, Betsy and Aaron Ward; step-daughters Heather Ingle,
Christina and Ryan Hurley, and Angela and Jason Willis; grandchildren,
Brett and Kate Cassel; Carter, Ryan and Brady Ward; Emma, Kale and
Caitlyn Ingle; Brayden and Ethan Hurley; mother-in-law, Jane Mumaw;
brother-in-law, Terry and Joyce Mumaw; and sister-in-law, Lois
Cassel-Miller.
His family will be receiving guests on Sunday, February 21, 2021, from
4:00 PM until 6:00 PM at EUM Church, Downtown Campus, 111 Devor Street,
Greenville, Ohio 45331. A celebration of his life will follow at the
church starting at 6:00ish, with Pastors Rev. Dr. Jeff Harper and Rev.
Don Smith.
The family has entrusted Tribute Funeral Homes with the final
arrangements.
Memorial contributions may be given to the Cancer Association of Darke
