Cassandra Hines Obituary

HINES Cassandra Mary (Mitchell) Cassandra "Sandie" (Mitchell) Hines, 56, passed away Sunday, January 25, 2009, at Hospice of Northwest Ohio, Toledo after a courageous two year battle with breast cancer. Sandie never gave up hope even up to her final hour when God chose to escort her home. Sandie was born in Toledo, Ohio on July 6, 1952 to Donald and the late Mary (Smith) Mitchell. She attended Trinity Lutheran Grade School and Maumee High School. Sandie married the late Thomas L. Hines, although they divorced, they remained friends. Together they had a daughter, Candice S. Hines of Columbus who still survives. Sandie was a loving and caring mother to her son, Gilbert Bailey who also survives. Sandie was a sales representative for B & B Box Company in Perrysburg until her illness forced her to retire. Other survivors include her father, Donald and step-mother, Christine Mitchell of Waterville; sister, Kathie (Jim) Conner of Luckey; brothers, Robert (Sue) Mitchell and David Mitchell; former sister-in-law, Diana Pruss; step-sister, Joann (Scott) Nuzum, and their family of 31; step-brothers, John (Betty) Snyder and James Snyder as well as aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins. Other people who mourn her passing include dear and devoted friend of 35 years, Antoinette "Toni" (Dennis) Wikstrom and their family, supportive and caring friends, Leila and Craig Zenil and former mother and father-in-law, Joy and Galen Hines. Special thanks to all who gave her loving care during her illness, especially the staff at Hospice and her support group of family and friends. Also, a special thanks to all the generous blood donors who helped to extend Sandie's time with her family. There will be no visitation per Sandie's request. A private cremation interment at Ottawa Hills Memorial Park will take place at a later date. A memorial service will be held at LifePoint Church, 8239 Waterville - Swanton Rd. (Route 64) Waterville on Saturday, January 31, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. The celebration of Sandie's life will be led by Pastor Richard Henry. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests tributes/memorials be sent to Huntington Bank, in care of Candice Hines, in Sandie's memory to aid with final expenses. The family has entrusted the Cremation Society of Toledo with Sandie's care. Online condolences may be made at www.toledo cremation.com "Just remember the good times and the fun we've shared along the way."

Gilbert,Kathie&Jim
I am so sorry for the loss of your mother and your sister, We only got to spend time with her once or twice a year but it was always fun and insightful. Our families have suffered a lot together over the past couple of years, but now we know our loved ones are no longer in any pain. I know you will take care of each other and grow even closer than you are. Sandi was a living energy and she will be terrible missed, but remember only her physical being is gone her spirit, love and memories will always be with you. We love you all and will see you soon.
Love Jean, Tim & Harley

Candie, I have no words to say to you but I am so sorry that your mom had to go through this terriable disease and suffer. I am so grateful to have had her in my life she was like my second mom and for that I will always be blessed. I am sitting here remembering the times we went on many vacations and trips to wherever My mom and your Mom dragged us. I will always remember that damn red lipstick and her taking 45 mins to get just her pretty face on.
I know that she is looking down on all of us and letting us know it is all going to be ok, she is safe and out of pain now.
Love you always Jacqueline Lee

Gilbert and Candie,I only knew your mom for a few months... she always greeted me with a warm smile and a kind word. I enjoyed sharing with you, your family and friends all the stories over the years. Your mom was truly a remarkable person. Based on the stories I heard, she had a sense of humor! But she was also very compassionate,generous, caring and loving. She is now at peace. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Candie and Gilbert, please know that your mother's essence and zest for life will live on in you two. She was a special lady with a heart the size of Texas. It is with a heavy heart for her suffering that we say good by; but please know that just when you least expect it you will hear her laugh and feel her smiling down upon you. I feel honored for having known her as I am sure all of her friends do as well. Be at peace with her passing as she no longer is suffering.

Gilbert, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. I am glad I got a chance to see her at the Cancer Walk last year at Levi's Commons. It was a pleasure knowing your Mom and I always looked forward to waiting on the three of you when you came into Outback. My life has been forever touched by your family and I will never forget your Mom. All my love.
