Casandra Helen "Cassy" Scribner

Casandra Helen Scribner, believer in Jesus Christ, loving wife, dedicated mother, cherished daughter, sister, niece, granddaughter, and friend was born on April 12, 1980 in Bethesda, Maryland.

She went peacefully to the Lord on May 13, 2013 surrounded by loved ones at her home.

She and her husband, Josh, celebrated ten years of marriage.

She is survived by her husband, Josh; children Gavin and Olivia; parents Dr. Keith and Gwenn Zwingelberg; her brothers Robert and Austin Zwingelberg and their wives Emily and Stephanie and their children. She is also survived by Grandmothers Helen Fenwick and Inez Wynne as well as many extended families through the panhandle including; the Scribner, Fenwick, Wise, Campbell and Nelson families – The Morse, Meeks, Fenwick and Crowley families in Phoenix – and Zwingelbergs of South Florida, Alaska, and New Orleans. She is now celebrating with her brother-in-law Jason Scribner, her grandfathers and several other friends and family members.

Cassy was passionate about her faith in Jesus and her commitment to family. She loved days at the beach with Josh and her children, trips to Disney and the mountains. Josh is the love of her life and her best friend. She counted herself blessed to be with him the years they had and their children are a shining light from the eternal love she and Josh shared. She ran triathlons with her parents. A superb skier, she tackled Steamboat Springs just a few weeks after double mastectomies. "The doctor said I couldn't fall, not that I can't ski – I won't fall." Her resolve to live her time on earth to the fullest is exemplified by her life motto "Walk by Faith." Cassy was a mentor to Christian youth and sang in the Choir at St. Andrew First Assembly with her beloved mother-in-law Beverly Scribner.

Cassy is a Florida "Gator" with a bachelors in Human Resource Development as well as a recent honorary graduate of the Gulf Coast State College nursing program. She has run her father's medical practice for nearly ten years and recently pursued her love of patient care with a wonderful nursing staff and fellow students at GCSC. She was an active participant in patient care at the Panama City Surgery Center and has left many lifelong friends in the local healthcare community. She was active in the American Cancer Society Relay-For-Life at many levels.

Family and friends, along with Cassy, wish to express their eternal gratitude to Dr. John Nanfro, the staff of the Tommy Hamm Sr. Cancer Center, Radiation Oncology at Gulf Coast Medical Center and The University of Alabama, as well as Hospices for their excellent care, compassion and respect of her as a patient. She truly felt that no better care existed on this earth.

The family would like to invite all friends and family to come celebrate Cassy's life and share in remembrance of the countless good memories at a life celebration service at the Callaway Arts and Conference Center - 500 Callaway Park Way – 3 PM Saturday 18 May.

In lieu of flowers Cassy asked that trees, bushes, and flowers be planted in her memory. A nursing scholarship has been created and donations can be made at Hancock Bank, Cassy Zwingelberg Scribner Scholarship Fund. She will surely study hard in Heaven to pass all examinations and get her wings without delay. Rest assured, we all now have a guardian angel in Heaven – look closely in the years ahead, you'll see her work. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16.
