Cassandra Aspen Obituary
Cassandra was born in Portsmouth and graduated from Portsmouth High School class of 2008. Attended Fisher College in Boston and graduated with an associate's degree in Fashion Merchandising in 2010.
Cassandra was a beautiful vibrant young woman who lit up any room with her smile. She had a funny side to her that you instantly discovered once you spent time with her. Her roommates at The Granada House found this out very quickly. She is loved by many and is missed terribly by her family.
We always knew Cassandra's life could be cut short. Cremation, burial and her story being told was discussed on a few occasions with her. Cassandra was cremated and there will be no services at this time by our family for her. We also agreed that her story would be told.
Her wish for those who are struggling with addiction, seek out help, learn to love yourself because life is so worth living and to keep fighting the fight! And those that have a loved one struggling with addiction help them. It is true they are the only ones that can do this but they will need your love and support during this lifelong struggle and journey.
Cassandra leaves behind her beloved cat Baby. Mother Stacy Shea, step father Peter Brown, his son Benjamin Brown and wife Brianna Brown, step daughter Darcy Gallucci her husband Matt and daughters Eva and Mazie, Brothers Derek S. Aspen (best friend also), Gunnery Sgt Shawn Moulton wife Megan (Flagg) Moulton and their children Emery and Avery, three special cousins Natascha Danielle Millar (Shea) and her son Van, Annika Aspen and her family, Liza Sager (Aspen) and her family, Father Kenneth Aspen, Cathy Clark her daughter's and their families also three closest friends: Nikki Bouley, Adam Sinisgalli and Christina Regan. Predeceased by her Grandmother Edna Shea and Uncle John Paul Shea.
