Cassandra Rose, known to most as Cassie or Cass (sometimes Casserole), was an amazing mother, sister, daughter, granddaughter, and friend. To her cousins and siblings, she was their first best friend, to Nikolai she was the perfect loving momma, and to the people she met along the way she was a beautiful smiling face.
On Tuesday August 31st, Cassie passed away at the age of 23. Anyone that knew Cassie knew she was such a colorful person, she always wore a smile, and her laugh was contagious. Cassie had a beautiful soul and touched the lives of everyone she met.

Cassie was preceded in death by her papa, Aynard Anderson and great grandma, Arletta Meisner.
Cassie and I were best friends when we were kids, I remember we would hang out every single day. She would come over to my house in the morning before school and I would spend the night with her every chance I got. I remember one time, her and I begged her parents if we could sleep on the trampoline outside, they laughed at us cuz they didn’t think we would stay out there cuz they thought we would be too scared, but we did and I remember waking up briefly in the middle of the night and I saw two crane birds walking by. I have a lot of good memories that I’ll never forget. She was such a spunky soul, who always had colorful hair and a bright creative character. I always wanted to be around her. I can’t believe that she is no longer here, it’s something I can’t seem to wrap my mind around. I will miss you so much Cassie, my prays and love go out to your family. Godbless
Forrest and Crystal Sorry for your loss of Cassie here on earth, you are in our prayers
God Bless
when I had my son our son’s were best friends and we had playdates constantly. she was the role model I needed and a guide for me when I needed it the most. I’m honestly so heartbroken she’s gone….
I met Cassie thru her Mom- Heather, and as a neighbor. What a Joy her Son brought to all, especially, his G.ma Heather! I am truly sorry for your loss, Heather and Gary, all family and friends. May the Peace from Heaven rest on you all during this time of grief. Praying the good memories and great Love, are foremost in your mind. God bless you with comfort in your heart and strength for tomorrow.
Cassie saved my life. We met in 2017 after a horrible situation, and became best friends. We had such a special connection. We got out of touch over the years, but I never stopped thinking about her. We had been planning to hang out and catch up. Hearing the news was gut-wrenching. I love you so much Cass. I’ll never stop missing you. Never. To her family and friends, I’m so sorry. I’m so, so sorry. Take care of Nikolai, never let him forget how special she was. My heart is shattered.
Cassie was the first friend I ever made when I moved to Perry. She was so full of light and such an amazing woman! I will never forget all the great times we had in high school. I know we all miss her very dearly. She will always have a special place in our hearts.
Cassie was a good friend of mine, although we weren’t super close, I hold our memories close. I’m crushed to know your gone Cass. You were an amazing friend and mother, truly a one of a kind person. Rest easy Cass, we all miss you.
She was so beautiful and still is. We all love you hunny boo. An amazing mother and friend. Best friends with my sister Emily. I’ll miss your smile and the sound of your voice. Your son will grow up know only how amazing and beautiful you were. I don’t know what to think, all I can do is think of the good memories we had. I’m gonna miss you so much darling. My love goes out to your family, I can only imagine the pain they are enduring right now. Prayers be with you all. Remember it’s only a bad chapter, not a bad life…????
She was my best friend… I just saw her and hugged her at the fair she seemed so happy. I was a struggling kid and she saved me multiple times I just wish I could have done the same for her. Words can’t even describe how much it hurts to know she’s gone. I’m so sorry to her family I can’t even imagine how you guys feel. She was an amazing and beautiful person inside and out. We even got married as kids and I’ll cherish our friendship for the rest of time. Rest In Peace beautiful girl I will always love you?
I remember going to elementary school together, and trading pokemon cards and such together. One day she gave me a ribbon for something I’ve long forgotten about, but I’ve kept it since. It’s donned by one of my fox plushies, and will forever be. Wish I could’ve had the chance to spend more time with you Cassie, and maybe play magic or DnD. But I still have the couple good memories I do have and know you were a wonderful person. I hope so much you’ll be at peace.
Had so much fun with her and my daughter there were best friends beautiful inside and out
I knew Cassie a short time but she was a sweetheart my granddaughter Melissa and her went to school together she will be missed
