She is preceded in death by her grandmother, Beth Richins of Animas, NM. She is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. She left behind a list of friends too numerous to name. Cassy was born January 18, 1986, in Orem, Utah. She attended school in Animas, NM, Las Cruces, NM and started the 7th grade at McKinnley Middle School in Albuquerque. She graduated in 2004 from Del Norte High School. While attending Del Norte she was a cheerleader, a member of the cross-country team, Baseball manager, Key Club, and was a member of the Knights of the Round Table. She attended NMSU, where she became a member of the Delta Gamma sorority. She had worked the last few years as a waitress and took classes when she could in Albuquerque. She wanted to be a nurse. She had recently moved to Wisconsin. Cassy had a smile that would light up a room as soon as she walked in. She had a kind, forgiving heart and was always willing to give everyone a second chance. She had a special place in her heart for the veteran biker community, especially the members of "F-Troop". She called many of them her family. It was said shortly after her passing that everyone liked her, as she grew up and met new people she never forgot the ones she had already known.
