She received an MBA in Theology and was a spiritual practitioner with the First Church of Religious Science. Cassandra had two big passions in her life. The first was giving birth to 14 children. In fact, she gave up a promising career to be the Mother she desired to be. Her 2nd passion was the development of The Children's Nurturing Coalition which was intended to teach nannies how to holistically and lovingly take care of their children. The slogan was "For Love of the Child." She also worked as a nurse at the Lovelace Medical Sleep Center. As a result of Cassandra's love for youth, she helped numerous teenagers giving them guidance and a sense of direction. The last few years of her life she spent as a loving and supportive wife to her husband, Dean and the mother to her last two children, twins Sky and Free. Cassandra was a woman of great joy, compassion and giving love. She will be remembered for the smile she always had and the joy she expressed about life. Even while dealing with her illness the past two years she always gave of her warmth and love to others. Everyone that was touched by Cassandra's spirit will have a void in their life by her passing. She was preceded in passing by her father and two daughters. Survivors include: husband Dean; 12 children; 10 grandchildren; mother, Janet, two brothers, Grant, Hollie; sister, Donna; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
