Loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend Jody Lee (Carter) Cassriel, 87, passed away on March 28, 2024, in her home at Casa Dorinda in Montecito, California.
She grew up in Carpinteria. She attended the University of Southern California (USC) where she met her husband, Harold Cassriel. She pledged the Tri Delta sorority and maintained her sisterhood friendships all through her life.
Jody and Harold raised their three kids in Arcadia, California. She was active in the Girl Scouts, Arcadia Assistance League and Presbyterian Church. She became a certified gemologist and operated Cassriel’s Jewelers. She continued to do jewelry appraisals until she was 75. They enjoyed travel and golf and returned to Carpinteria to retire and spend time with their grandkids.
Jody is joining her mother, Phyllis Dane Carter; brother LeRoy Carter; and daughter-in-law Cameron (Weisenberger) Cassriel. She is survived by her husband, Hal; daughter Lori; sons Steve (Bonnie) and Wayne (Betsy); and grandchildren Haley, Henry, Will, Christopher, Brian, Parker and Natalie.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the American Heart Association. Jody was loved by many and will be missed.
A memorial will be held at the All Saints-by-the-Sea in Montecito, California, on Monday, May 20 at 11 a.m.
