Cassia Braye

March 30, 1942 - March 22, 2022

CASSIA PAULINE BRAYE (“Pearl” or “Aunt Pearl”), daughter of the late Henry Jones and the late Annie Jones, completed her assignment here on Tuesday, March 22, 2022 at home. Pearl was loved and will truly be missed by her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Pearl was born on March 30, 1942 in Carvers Creek, North Carolina. She moved to Detroit, Michigan in 1972. Pearl was employed with the Chrysler Corporation for thirty years and retired in January 2000. After retirement she relocated to Baltimore, Maryland to be with her sister, Willia Mae Cowans. Pearl enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. She also loved traveling, cooking, playing cards and playing games on her phone, but we cannot leave out the casino. Pearl was preceded in death by her son, Tony Dale Jones and twenty siblings. Pearl leaves to cherish her memory: her daughter, Merle Jones; three sons, James Jones (Blanca), Antonio Hayes (Shelia) and Derrick Braye; sister, Carlethea Lennon of Council, North Carolina; twenty-eight grandchildren, twenty-three great-grandchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews and devoted friends.
