Ms. Kasandra "Kassy" Rodriguez

Kasandra Rodriguez Whenever you feel the sunshine on your cheeks, that’s what life felt like to know Kassy. A warm ray of sunshine. Kassy was the most humble, compassionate, free spirited and loving person who has ever walked the Earth; the Earth she cared so much about. Doing anything and everything to prevent leaving a carbon footprint. She would be the first to teach you all about “to-go wear” and recycling. All Kassy wanted to do was save the world, every animal, and every person. Kassy was pure love and light. Her nephew Grayson was her world and the impact that she had on everyone’s life is irreplaceable. She learned how to be strong from her Mother, and learned to never give up on her dreams from her Father. Her best friend and Sister, Stacy, was her keeper. Kassy loved her brother dearly. Kassy and Nathan were always called the "twins" because they were about a year apart. They were inseparable as kids. All she wanted was to be around him because she loved him so much. All Kassy wanted was to be happy; to love and be loved. Kassy was made of pure light, warm sacrificial love. She was empathetic to all. A Hippie, Free Spirit, a lover, a best friend, a good listener, and a supportive non-judgmental soul. Kassy was a creative artist and writer. She had a uniqueness about her. You knew her by her bright smile and unforgettable dreadlocks. She was quiet, but hilarious. Kassy loved her Guinea Pig, her cat, Luna, and her fish. Most of all, Kassy loved her family and friends. Kassy stood for speaking up for those who could not speak for themselves, for helping endangered animals, stopping Global Warming, eating organic vegan food, and saving lives. Kassy was the baby of the family, always checking in to make sure people were ok. She would always sacrifice for the greater good. She taught us that life is precious. She taught us about sacrificial love. She taught us about being the light in someone’s world. Her favorite phrase is “Love is Patient, Love is Kind.” Kasandra was the beloved daughter of Luis F. Rodriguez of Lowell and Bernarda Franco of Orlando, Florida, formerly of Lowell. She was born in Lowell on February 23, 1997. She grew up in Tyngsborough, attending Tyngsborough Schools, throughout her Junior Year at Tyngsborough High School. She then moved to Nashua, NH and graduated from Nashua High School. Kassy was employed as the Front Desk Coordinator at Best Fitness in Drum Hill, Chelmsford. Surviving Kasandra are her father Luis and her mother Bernarda; her sister, Stacy Mood of Lowell; her brother, Nathan Rodriguez of Lowell; her nephew, Grayson Vigé of Lowell; her grandmother, Jesusa Maldonado; and many, many loved aunts, uncles, and cousins. Kassy also leaves many special friends from Tyngsborough and all of her friends from work, as well as the countless friends she made along the way. Kassy left us unexpectedly on Friday, March 23, 2018. Her story wasn’t finished yet, but the impression she left on our hearts and in our minds will last forever.
