July 7, 1983 – October 13, 2025
Cassie Lynn Moses, 42, of Engadine, died Monday afternoon, October 13, 2025 at Helen Newberry Joy Hospital. Cassie was born July 7, 1983 in Manistique, daughter of Jacob and Diane (Selby) Moses. Cassie fought a 38-year battle with tumors but never let it affect her. She will be missed forever by all that knew her and will always be “Momma’s” baby girl.
Cassie never met anyone she didn’t like as she loved people deeply, having a strong relationship with God. Cassie was “personality plus” and had no problem speaking her mind, keeping on point every time. At times, Cassie was sassy but a sweet girl.
She loved Elvis Presley and could tell you everything about him, often debating with her Uncle Larry about Elvis’ history. Cassie enjoyed the shores of Lake Superior rock picking with her parents, swimming and “just being”. Her love for her brothers and sister was also apparent. Cassie was a member of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians.
Cassie is preceded in death, yet reunited, with her loving father, Jacob. She is also preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, Jonas and Helen (Calkins) Moses and maternal grandparents, George and Diane (Porter) Selby, special cousin/sister Joey Selby and aunt Darlene Caswell.

He attended Albion College for one semester before entering school for one year at the Cleary Business College in Ypsilanti. After serving in the United States Air Force, he completed his education earning a Bachelor’s Degree and a Master’s Degree in Agriculture from Michigan State University in 1959.

After working as a 4-H agent and a grower’s agent at the H. J.
