Janet M Casson

Janet Casson, 80, of Bristol, CT, passed away on Thursday, June 27, 2024. Born in Torrington, on April 19, 1944, she was the daughter of the late Pearl (Weingart) and James Casson.

Janet lived in Harwinton for most of her early years where she attended grammar school. She graduated from Torrington High School and went on to work for many years as a Quality Inspector at Mitral Corporation in Harwinton. She then worked as a Quality Manager at Anco Tool in Wolcott until her retirement.

When her parents died she took over the responsibility of hosting holiday dinners. She was a tremendous cook and made the best potato salad, banana cream pie, chocolate pie, and Christmas cookies, which she shared with everyone. Anyone who knew Janet knew her passion for gaming- she enjoyed going to jai alai, Saturday card games with family and friends, and attending the horse races in Saratoga. She also loved to go to local fairs such as the Harwinton Fair and the Big E. Janet was always thinking of others and never forgot birthdays or other special holidays throughout the year- sending cards to her family and friends for every occasion.

Janet is survived by her siblings- James Casson of Bristol, Gerald (and Carolyn) Casson of New Hartford, Fran (and Jackline) Casson of Torrington, and Dennis Casson of Bristol. She is predeceased by her parents, James and Pearl Casson (Weingart) of Burlington, brother, Terrence Casson of Harwinton, and niece, Suzanne Casson of Panama City, FL. She was the proud “Auntie” of many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.

Services for family and friends will be at Phalen Funeral Home on Friday, July 12 at 10 am. In lieu of flowers, donations in Janet’s memory can be made to the Alzheimer’s Association.
