For the next several years Casey worked as a social worker in Atlanta and Macon, studied voice and received a master’s degree at the University of Illinois, sang with Robert Shaw’s inaugural Atlanta Chamber Chorus, studied voice at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria, and returned to teach voice at her alma mater, Wesleyan College.

Casey’s first year at Glen Arden was the summer of 1964 on the campus of Christ School. Such was the beginning of a long and devoted friendship with Mary Bell and led to her invitation to Casey to become director of Glen Arden in 1980. Casey, with Liz Lowndes McIntosh, as head counselor and assistant director, worked many years together honoring the traditions and ways of Glen Arden through the summer of 2016.
