Cassandra Andrews

Born on September 21, 1990, in Dayton, Ohio, Cassandra lived a life full of love, resilience, and adventure. She was known for her outgoing personality, kind and loving heart, and unwavering loyalty to her family and friends. Cassandra embraced life with a passion for new experiences and a spirit that inspired those around her. Her beautiful smile could light up any room, and even through life’s obstacles, she remained strong, always pushing forward with determination.

Cassandra was a proud graduate of Kaplan, where she pursued her passion for helping others and built a career as a medical assistant—an accomplishment she held close to her heart. Her dedication and compassion touched many lives both personally and professionally.

Above all, Cassandra was a devoted mother, daughter, sister, and friend.
