Cassandra affectionately known as Sandy (62) returned to her heavenly home on December 26, 2024, after a courageous battle with Cancer. Cassandra was born on April 16, 1962 to the proud parents of James Yancy, Sr. and Dorothy M. Yancy. She was the oldest of two children. She was born and raised in Chicago and eventually moved to Gary, IN. Cassandra accepted Christ into her life and baptized at an early age.

Cassandra worked several jobs, including First National Bank of Chicago and upon her illness she retired from Illinois Central Bus Company in Gary, IN.

On December 26, 2024, God gave Eternal life to one of his faithful Soldiers. Cassandra is now absent from the body and present with the Lord.

Cassandra leaves to cherish her memories: Three children; Tarharshanikki Synette, ChrisShaun Vonte (Kelly) and Ruby Ashley. Five grandchildren; ChrisShaun, Christian, Syir, Qiyani and Syire. Mother, Dorothy M. Yancy. Father, James C. Yancy, Sr. (Minnie), Brother, James Yancy, Jr. (Anita), Sisters, Jo Ann Williams and Rosha Belcher (Jacob), Best Friend, Ernestine Brown and a host of other relatives, associates and friends.

She was preceded in death by her sister, Cheryl Ann Blackwell.

God has opened his heart and kingdom to receive Cassandra who loved life and lived it to the fullest. Cassandra loved to laugh loudly and make others happy. She was non-judgmental, very encouraging and a woman of her word! All Services Saturday January 11,2025. Crossroads Missionary Baptist Church 529 Jefferson St.
