Cassandra Olivencia

Worcester - Cassandra Olivencia, 31, sadly left us too soon after being stricken ill at home on Saturday February 15, 2020; She leaves behind her two beautiful children Amare and Kiahn; her mother Kerry L. (Waitkus) Nderitu of Holyoke; three brothers: Michael Nderitu Jr, Jeremy Logan, and Caleb Jackson all of Worcester; three sisters: Kaylina Olivencia of Worcester, Michela Peters of Springfield, and Kylia Kaddy-Olivencia of Goffstown, NH.  Cassandra also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, relatives, and countless friends; she was preceded in death by her father Alejandro R. Olivencia in 2016, and by her brother Alejandro R. Olivencia Jr in 2017.

Cassandra was born in Worcester, MA on April 15, 1988; she was proud of her work with Everyday Miracles and LIFT (Living in Freedom Together) where she served as the program manager at Jana’s Place.  Cassandra was a loving and caring person who was quick to lend a hand to anyone in need, greeting them with her great big smile and caring soul that could brighten up the darkest days.  Cassandra greatly enjoyed spending time with her beloved children, her nieces and nephews, and all those she held close to her heart. whether it was taking sojourns to Old Orchard Beach or simply hanging around the house, Cassandra was always joyful in the company of her family and friends.  Our loss is most certainly Heaven’s gain; Cassandra will live on forever in the hearts of all who were so blessed to know and love her.
