Anne Grillo Obituary, Death – Anne “Cassie” Grillo was a loyal wife, mother, grandmother, sister, auntie, and friend to a large number of people throughout her remarkable 67 years in our world. Her life span was an astonishing 67 years. I must notify you with a sad heart that she passed away on Wednesday, December 28, 2022, in the late evening hours. The date and time of her death are December 28. Cassie Fontaine was born to her parents, Charles T. Fontaine and Beverly J. Fontaine, on December 14, 1955. She was their first child. She was the seventh of seven children and she and her siblings all grew up in Taftville, Connecticut. Her parents raised all of them there. She received her education at Norwich Free Academy, where she was a member of the school’s cheering squad until the year 1973 when she graduated. In 1976, when Cassie gave birth to her daughter Farrah, she became a mother for the first time.
Afterward, in 1978, she gave birth to her son Marlon. He was her first child. When Cassie married Daniel Lee Grillo in 2002, it marked the moment when she realized she had met the person with whom she would spend the rest of her life. The moment they were introduced to one another, the two instantly hit it off and formed a strong friendship based on their mutual passion and interest in horses. At the rodeos, two of her and Danny’s favorite activities to do together were watching professional bull riding and participating in rodeos. Cassie was a skilled equestrian who spent most of her time either working on the farm where her family lived or in the stable with her two most beloved horses, Poky and Foxy Lady. In addition to this, she cherished the time she got to spend with her grandchildren, especially when it came to pass on her knowledge of how to ride horses to the next generation.
Her horses, her family, and her faith were the three things in her life that she placed the utmost importance on. It is indisputable that Cassie was a powerful woman who embraced Jesus as her Lord and Savior. She also loved the Lord, which is another truth that cannot be disputed.
