Baddeck
We, the family are heart broken to announce Cassandra’s sudden passing at home in Baddeck on Saturday, Aug. 9, 2025, at the age of 34.
Born May 7, 1991, Cassandra is the daughter of Joyce (MacLeod) and the late Joseph MacAskill.
Along with her mother, Cassandra is survived by her beloved grandmother, Margaret MacLeod of Baddeck, formerly from Tarbot; uncle, David (Jed) and Carmel Miller and their family, New Waterford; great-aunt, Sadie MacLean, Big Baddeck; as well as several other aunts, uncles and cousins.
Besides her father, Cassandra was predeceased by her older brother, Gregory in infancy; paternal grandparents, John Peter and Tena MacAskill, North River; maternal grandfather, Murdock (Bucky) MacLeod, Tarbot; as well as several aunts, uncles and cousins.
Cassandra grew up in Tarbot and attended Baddeck Academy and Memorial High School in Sydney Mines from where she graduated. She had a love of all animals, but especially cats and dogs and will be missed by her fur baby, Mia.
The family would like to thank EHS and the RCMP for their professionalism on Saturday. Special thanks to Judy Keigan for being there for us at such a difficult time. Many thanks to our neighbors, friends and family for their ongoing support.
