    • Agatha McCuistion Obituary
      Agatha (Cass) McCuistion passed away on April 11th, 2024, after a hard-fought battle with pancreatic cancer. She was 76. Born on June 6th, 1947 in Dayton, Tennessee, Cass leaves behind a legacy of love and unforgettable memories. Her main love was a love for her family, especially her grandchildren. Cass loved traveling. Her summers were spent traveling with her daughter and granddaughter, crisscrossing the United States and Europe or on cruises with all her grandchildren. In the fall, she often traveled to Florida and South Carolina with her sisters. Her spring trips centered around Hawaii which was her favorite destination that she first explored with her late husband, Roger. When she was home, she could often be found in her backyard gardening or sitting on her back deck enjoying her flowers and the birds that visited her, especially a little red cardinal who made his home in the back corner of her yard. Christmas was always special to her, and her house was always decked out with Christmas decorations both inside and out.

      Cass was preceded in death by her loving husband of 48 years, Roger, and her parents, Brady and Anna Bishop. She was also preceded in death by her sisters Sandra Trusley and Theldon Brady as well as her brother Lesslie Bishop. She is survived by her son, Jeffery McCuistion and his wife Christine and her daughter, Nancy Horner, as well her grandchildren, Alexander Cooper and his wife Katie; Cameron McCuistion and his partner Emily Logan (son Ryder}; Kyle McCuistion; Abigail Horner and her partner Nick Monser. Bonus grandson John Horner and his wife Alyssa (daughter Holland). She also leaves behind her siblings David Bishop and his wife Becky, Sheila Goins and her husband Johnny, her sisters-in-law, Carolyn Bishop and Pam Mitchell and husband John, and her brothers-in-law Bart McCuistion and Kevin McCuistion as well as many nieces and nephews. She will truly be missed as she was the fabric who kept us together.

      A viewing will be held at 12 PM on Saturday April 20th at Coulter-Garrison Funeral Home in Dayton, Tennessee. A memorial service will be held immediately after the viewing at 2 PM, with Pastor Dwight Martin officiating. Burial will follow in Spence Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the American Cancer Society.
