Catherine Mary Martin

Catherine (Cassi) Dean Martin was received by the Lord on December 29, 2025. She was born in Greenwich, CT October 27, 1944 to Edward Sylvester and Elizabeth Gemmill Dean. She is survived by her loving husband Michael (Captain USN (Ret.)), her sister Laura Sorgenfrei, her two stepchildren, sisters Amy Vogt and Sarah White and their families. She was preceded in death by her brother Edward Dean, Jr. Cassi also leaves behind five wonderful nieces; Carol Catalano, Laura Jean Persau, Diane Mulligan, Tiffani Williamson, and Michele Myers and their families.

Cassi graduated from Port Chester, NY High School in 1962, then attended Berkeley Secretarial School and started her professional life with IBM in 1963. Her assignments were in NYC, Armonk NY, Albuquerque NM, and San Diego CA. After 15 years with IBM, she joined General Dynamics for 9 ½ years. She met Michael while living in San Diego and he was assigned to Hawaii. They were married on April 18, 1987 in the Pearl Harbor Chapel. From there she lived in Hawaii, Newport, RI and Alexandria, VA. In 1993, Cassi started her own consulting firm supporting Capitol Hill customers for 15 years. She and Michael retired to Aiken, SC in 2005.

During her retirement years, Cassi was very active hosting her large community’s Cedar Creek Ladies Club events and raising funds for local charities. She will be remembered for her energy, generosity, optimism and, most importantly her love for the Lord. She will be interned with Michael in the US Naval Academy Columbarium in Annapolis at a later date. A Memorial Service is also intended.
