Geraldine (Dena) Casey

It is with sadness we note the sudden passing a long-time Toronto dart player Geraldine (Dena) Casey. A native of England, Dena was a long-time MTADL and QSDL dart enthusiast who played primarily out of the Duke of Gloucester at Yonge and Bloor.

A nurse by profession, and owner of an eldercare company, Dena will be sadly missed by friends, family, and clients. Her kindness and compassion deeply touched all those who knew her.
