Cashion resident Mary Lou Hasley celebrates a milestone birthday as she turns 90 on July 10.

Her family is hosting a come and go reception from 2-4 p.m. Saturday, July 9, at the Cashion United Methodist Church, 204 S. Third St.

Hasley was born on a farm east of Kingfisher to Walter and Sybil Hasley on July 10, 1932.

She lived on the farm with her parents and younger sister Margie until the family moved to Los Angeles during the Great Depression.

Halsey returned to Cashion as a teenager in 1946, living with her father and his second wife, Juanita.

She held odd jobs during her teenage years and also helped out at her father’s local business, the Hasley Oil Company.

She met John Beutler and they married in 1949, raising a daughter, Judy, and sons Mike and Mark.

After traveling for much of her younger life, Hasley was determined to make her home and raise her family in Cashion.

Hasley worked as Cashion’s town clerk for several years and then later worked 30 years at General Electric, eventually retiring from Seagate.

“We lived in California when I was a kid,” she said. “Then when I was married we lived in Texas and Colorado.

“When I returned to Cashion I swore I would never again leave Kingfisher County.”

She built Cashion’s first-ever brick house in 1960, and, true to her word, she still resides there today.

Hasley has done many things in her nearly nine decades on the earth, but there’s still one thing she hasn’t done.

“Outside of birthday cake and ice cream with my family, in 90 years I have never had a big birthday party,” Hasley said. “I am looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday.”
