Cassandra "Kassie" Lynn Putney, beloved wife, mother, sister, and daughter, passed away on April 22nd, 2024 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at the young age of thirty-six. She was born on July 10th, 1987 in San Diego, California to Steven Mecozzi and Tammy Snyder.

Her devotion to the love of her life, Nicholas "Nick" Stern, and their five children - Hailey, Guy, Nick Jr., Kerri and Shawn - was the cornerstone of her existence. She created a home filled with warmth and laughter where love abounded.

Her siblings Krystal Konkel (Brad), Valerie Dawson (David), Kevin Mecozzi (Des'ola) were not just relatives but also dear friends who shared an unbreakable bond despite being scattered across different parts of the country. Kassie cherished these connections and made it a priority to stay connected with them throughout her life.
