While at Penn State she met the love of her life, Samuel Marks Kinney, Jr. Sam and Cass married shortly after graduation. Cass went to work at the telephone company and Sam went to law school.

Cass loved to travel. She and her beloved husband Sam traveled the world both for business and pleasure. Cass continued to travel on her own later in life.
