BESSIE JOAN CASSARO (nee Marino), age 86. Beloved wife of the late Charles T. Cassaro for 50 years. Devoted mother of Theresa Lesh (Ben). Loving sister of Michael Marino (deceased). Bessie was a trailblazer. After graduating from college, she taught at Maple Heights High School and attended law school in the evenings. One of few women in the field of law at the time, she made an impression with her intelligence and spunk, fighting for what she believed was right. She was a firecracker in red lipstick, and she will be dearly missed by all.
