Cascile, age 89, passed away on June 26, 2023. Born March 10, 1934, to Joe and Virginia Johnson in Eupora, Mississippi, she came to Colorado Springs in the late 1950s. Also, a resident of Middletown, Ohio and San Antonio, Texas she lived longest in Colorado Springs and considered it home.
Among her achievements was being one of the earliest women department managers in two of the city’s largest retailers. However, Cascile was proudest of her children and their families. She cherished her fellowship at Fresh Start Baptist Church where she was lovingly known as Mother Coffey.
An avid sports fan, she supported all Denver sports teams but included the San Antonio Spurs and Ohio State in the mix. Cascile loved to travel and her trip to Europe in the 80’s was just one of her many travel sagas.

7 Jul 2023Ms. Davis, Thank you for message.
I would say our Mother was one of the original fashionistas! Be it a baseball game or Church, Mother could put together the perfect outfit for ANY occasion, she had the most amazing eye for fashion & decorating and thankfully she passed this trait has down thus, there will be no family home or occasion where her talents will not be remembered and represented!
Best Regards,
The Family

6 Jul 2023Ms Cascille was the most lovely example of elegance and grace. Her sense of style was so classically displayed with her fabulous choice of hats to go with every occasion. When she walked in a room, she was noticed. I’m sad she will no longer reinforce that feminine beauty she clearly ruled despite her age. Cascille, you were such a joy. My heart is saddened you wonderful spirit has left us.
You will forever be in our hearts. Blessings to all her family who must carry on without her. She is above looking over all of us.
