Obituary: Rebecca ‘Becky’ Cassity Spalding, 66, Bardstown

Rebecca “Becky” Cassity Spalding, 66, of Bardstown, peacefully at 11:59 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 17, 2022. She was born Oct. 5, 1955, in Marion County. She enjoyed playing cards, going to bingo, dancing, and listening to old country records. She was a believer in Jesus Christ, and loved and prayed for her family fiercely.

Her last three years were challenged by serious health issues, but this did not stop her from pouring into those around her. It was her faith that sustained her through these many challenges, and in her suffering, allowed her to provide comfort to those around her. She lived well, but even more, she loved well. She met her only grandson on August 2, 2022. She loved him deeply during the short time they had together. She finished her race well.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Roberta Nalley Cassity; and one sister, Faye Call.

She is survived by one daughter, Kassie Spalding (Tony Edelen) of Cox’s Creek; two sisters, Martha Haynes amd Charlenia (Frank) Craven, both of Bardstown; one grandson, Tripp Edelen; one brother-in-law, Leon Call of Bardstown; several nieces, nephews and her special friends, Mary Catherine McGirk and Margaret Greenwell.
