TEWKSBURY - Cassandra A. “Cassie” Candeloro died peacefully surrounded by loving family, Saturday, April 6, at the Merrimack Valley Hospice House in Haverhill. She was born January 15, 1999 in Boston, the beloved daughter of Robert R. and Debra A. (Finley) Candeloro Jr. of Tewksbury.
Cassie loved attending school and spending time with her classmates where she was a student at the Boston College Campus School in Chestnut Hill. Her favorite pastimes were listening to music and having her hair and nails done by her nurses. Cassie faced many challenges in her life, her amazing strength and spirit were an inspiration to all who loved her. She will be remembered as a cheerful, joyful child; touching the hearts of those that knew her.
Besides her parents, she is survived by two brothers; James and Andrew Candeloro both of Tewksbury, her maternal grandmother; Gail Finley of Malden, her paternal grandparents Dorothy and Robert Candeloro Sr., of Malden, several aunts, uncles and cousins, and many friends. We’d like to acknowledge the love and care Cassie received from her primary nurse and friend of 13 years, Joyce Richardson of Tewksbury.
