U.S. Sen. Bob Casey Jr. said his mother died after a brief illness.
Current Pa. Gov. Josh Shapiro has ordered flags on state facilities, public buildings and grounds to fly at half-staff in Ellen Casey’s honor.
Gov. Robert Casey and his wife, Ellen Casey, speak to Amy Miller, 11, left and Jessica Hassell, 8, both of Harrisburg, during a tour of the Pa. Farm Show in 1995. “Ellen was an ambassador for the commonwealth and her beloved home of Scranton. Like Governor Casey, she made family, health, and children part of her life’s work,” first lady Lori Shapiro said in a news release.
In that story, John Christopher, director of the Education Department’s Division of Adult Basic and Literacy Education, described her as “a tremendous plus in helping the overall adult education program in Pennsylvania.” ”Mrs. Casey has been tremendous assisting in the adult literacy effort,” he said. “She has been to many graduations. She has been to prisons, and she has been to hospitals, meeting with the people. She even had a reception for 10 outstanding students last year.”
Matt Casey, middle, stands on the steps of St. Peter's church, Scranton, with his mother, Ellen, left, and other family members as Gov. Robert P. Casey's coffin is lowered into a hearse for procession to the burial site in Moscow, Pa., in 2000.
