She is survived by her three children, Robert Case and his wife, Joanne, John Case, Kathy (Case) Gleason and her husband, Jim Gleason; three grandchildren, Heather (Case) McGee and her husband, Kevin, Sam Gleason and Chris Gleason; one great-grandchild, Anna McGee; and several beloved nieces and nephews.
