She is also survived by “Me Too” and numerous other nieces and nephews.

Billie was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Azema Acosta Lasseigne; husband, Perry Joseph Casso; one daughter, Gina Casso; one sister, Marlbrie Goff; eight brothers, Aubrey, Berlin, Jay, Jessie, Fonston, Everett, Joffery and Lester Lasseigne.

Pallbearers will be Ryan Jensen, Tyler Jensen, Kevin Bogan, Paul Johnson, Nels Offerdahl and Don Lasseigne.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Tuesday, August 8, 2017, at Holy Cross Catholic Church with Father Clyde Mahler and Father Angelo Cremaldi celebrating the Mass. A wake will be held from 9 a.m. until the time of Mass, and, following, Mass Billie will be laid to rest in the Berwick Cemetery Mausoleum.
