Letty Cash, of Wildwood MO, passed away peacefully in her home on October 13, 2016, surrounded by her husband Jim and son Jamie, following a long, valiant and determined fight with cancer. Born in Hove, England, Letty came to the US via Williamsburg, VA, before ultimately settling in St. Louis. A devoted and loving mother, grandmother and wife, she shared her irrepressible spirit with so many people, throughout her entire life. Her infectious energy and indomitable spirit gave strength to her family and friends, and she greeted her illness with a dignified but fierce resilience, combining a joyous smile with a British stiff upper lip.

She leaves behind her husband of 49 years, Jim, her son Jamie, her “daughter-in-love” Kirun, and her grandson Silas.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made, if you wish to do so, to one of two parts of Barnes-Jewish that served my mother throughout this entire journey.
