Mildred Ruth Cassells, dear to her family

Mildred Ruth Cassells (nee Northrop), transitioned to her Heavenly Home Wednesday, April 1, 2020. “Millie” lived a full and well-loved life.

Born to her parents James and Ellen Northrop July 19,1932, Millie grew up in Essington, Pa. She loved her high school days at Ridley Park High School, especially the dances during lunch! She loved to dance! Many of her childhood friends remained in her life.

Left to cherish her memory are her three children, Gerald E. Peet Jr., Dawn E. Peet and Thomas J. Peet Sr. (Susan J.). She is the grandmother of Thomas J. Peet Jr. (Stef), Jeffrey E. Peet (Ali), Steven C. Peet (Marybeth) and Joseph R. Peet; and great-grandmother of T.J., Annie, Lilly, Kaelynn, Nolan and Jordan.

She was the dear sister of the late Doris Costello and James W. Northrop Jr. Surviving sister is Ida M. Revello, and sister-In-law, Betty Northrop. Aunt Millie loved her nieces and nephews, their spouses and children.

A dear friend, and travel companion to so many throughout the years of her life, she loved those annual trips to New England! She literally travelled throughout the world.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all services and interment will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations in Millie’s name can be made to Southern Delaware Therapeutic Riding, PO Box 219, Nassau, DE 19969. This organization touches so many lives, just as she did!
