DEATH OF LADY CASEY
PRIME MINISTER
FOR MEDIA FRIDAY, 21 JANUARY 1983
DEATH OF LADY CASEY
I was very sad to learn of the death of Lady Casey.
, Maie Casey was an extraordinarily versatile and talented
woman. As the wife of Lord Casey, whom she married in 1926,
she was of tremendous assistance during his distinguished
career. But in her own right she was a woman of great achievement.
She was an accomplished writer, an artist of note, a pilot
and patron of the Australian Women Pilots Association, and a
distinguished member of the Australian community. Her death,
I know, will be a cause of great sorrow to a large number
of Australians.
I offer my sympathy to Lady Casey's son, Mr Donn Casey,
and to her daughter, Mrs Jane Macgowan.
