John and Eleanor Cassidy, 60 years

On Saint Patrick’s Day, John and Eleanor Fennon Cassidy celebrated the 60th anniversary of their 1945 wedding in Sacramento. The Cassidys raised a family of six children, now extended to 11 grandchildren, two great-grandchildren with two more on the way, and many friends who are as close as family.

In their daily lives and in thousands of family dinner table conversations, Eleanor and John have shared their honesty and their faith, respect for learning and culture, an enjoyment of travel, good food and laughter and their abiding love for one another that shapes everything they do.
