It is with great sadness that we, the parents announce the passing of Cassidy. Cassidy Sue Elsen, 18 of La Crosse, passed away with her parents by her side at home on Tuesday, October 22, 2024.
Cassidy attended Logan High School shy of finishing her senior year. Cassidy enjoyed high school and they have become our family. Cassidy’s smile lit up the room. She was beautiful, patient, kind, thoughtful, strong, and had the best manners in the whole wide world. Cassidy loved to dance, which we did most days. Cassidy was the greatest, example of selflessness.
Cassidy was preceded in death by Snoopy (dog) and Sherrie Martin (grammy). Cassidy will be missed by her mom (Melissa), Dad (Kevin) and Fifi (cat).
The family would like to thank: Logan High School family, Dr. Erin Gutowski and her care team at Gundersen (Emplify) Health, St. Croix Hospice, Life In Harmony, Christine Meindel-Wagner (La Crosse County Social Worker), and Schumacher-Kish.
In lieu of flowers, we kindly ask for donations to be made in Cassidy‘s memory to the VWM Families Foundation. These contributions go directly towards finding a cure for VWM, honoring Cassidy’s life and the legacy she leaves behind (www.vwmff.org/donate).
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, October 26th at 11:00 AM at the Schumacher-Kish Funeral & Cremation Services of La Crosse. Friends may call at the funeral home on Friday from 4:00 – 7:00 PM and again on Saturday from 10:00 AM until the time of services.
