"The new house is breathtaking! It
is obvious that every aspect of living
in a sorority house was thoughtfully
considered. The weekend was
perfect. Love is what I felt
while driving home."
–Elaine Mogelnicki Turski '69
Reba Nelson Cassin '47 entered the Silent Chapter on
September 30, 2022.
Reba graduated from Mizzou with a bachelor's degree in
English and married her college sweetheart, Eugene, on
February 1, 1950. After living in various cities on the East
Coast, they returned to Columbia in 1966.
Reba worked as an Academic Advisor for the University
of Missouri College of Arts and Sciences for 30 years. In
addition to her Alpha Phi membership and work as a House
Corporation Board member, she was a member of the Literacy
Action Corps, Friends of the Library Book Cart, and Calvary Episcopal Church
Needlepoint Guild.
Her interests included needlework, sewing, gardening, traveling with family, and
researching her family genealogy. She also loved classical music, Broadway musicals,
reading, and completing cryptograms, crosswords, and jigsaw puzzles. She loved
hosting large family gatherings, and her smile and laugh will be missed.
To Reba, Alpha Phi wasn't just a lifetime commitment; it was a family affair with
all three of her daughters, Laurel Cassin Dawson '79, Cary Cassin Taylor '81, and
Julie Cassin Piland '10, being Omicron initiates. In lieu of flowers, Reba requested
donations be made to the sorority and the Central Missouri Humane Society.
