Cassidy Helen Anderson

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our loving daughter, Cassidy Helen Anderson, age 23, on Saturday, January 18th, 2025 at home surrounded by her loving family.

Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia on July 8th, 2001, at 15 weeks premature at the IWK, alongside her twin sister Alexandra (Allie). She was the daughter of Sandra Finlayson and Alex Anderson (North Sydney).

Cassidy enjoyed walks down the road with her da, she loved and looked forward to going to Haley Street meetings with her friends and socializing. Sometimes just relaxing in her favourite spot chatting with her sis. Cassidy lit up the room with her beautiful smile and infectious laugh.

Besides her parents, Cassidy is survived by her twin sister Alexandra (Brandon) North Sydney, Amy (Mitchell Tucker) Fort MacMurray, Jordan Sydney Mines, Ryan (Angie) Ontario and nephew Colton. Cassidy also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, and cousins as well as grandmother Annette Finlayson.

There will be a Celebration of Life for Cassidy on Friday, January 24th from 1-3pm at the North Sydney Fire Fighter’s Hall. A service will be announced at a later date.

The family would like to thank all the people who helped Cassidy in any way. Dr. Poulos, Dr. Lynk, the staff at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital as well as the IWK and to the North Sydney and Sydney Mines Fire Departments. Special thanks to aunts and uncles who helped Cass along the way, we love you.

Forever Loved Baby Girl

When nights are cold

And stars are few

I close my eyes

And think of you

A silent hope

A silent tear

A silent wish

That you were here.
