Kassandra Ann Metcalf

Kassandra Ann Metcalf passed away peacefully at her mother’s home in Bloomington, Indiana on Monday March 25 at 10:30 am. Ms. Metcalf and her twin sister, Danielle, were born just after midnight on March 20, 1989 in Columbus, Ohio. Ms. Metcalf was a 2007 graduate of Bloomington South High School, a 2013 graduate of Purdue University, and received her MBA from the University of West Georgia in 2016. Kassandra and her “fur baby,” Josie, most recently lived in Austin, Texas, where she worked as an IT Project Manager for General Motors. She is survived by her sisters, Danielle (James) Prendergast and Jenna Parsons, her niece, Palmer Prendergast, her mother, Allyson (Tony) Fox, father, Kim (Diane) Metcalf, her stepfather, Patrick Parsons, her grandparents, Beverly Hoffer, Galen Fox and Shirley Brooks, step siblings, Jared and Bryant Fox, Christin Eubank, and Matthew Duhé, and a large extended family. She was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, Kenneth and Corinne Metcalf and step grandfather, Kenneth Ford, and her maternal grandfather, Chester Clampitt and step grandfather, Andy Hoffer. The bright, determined, strong young woman bravely fought cancer for nearly five years at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, including multiple clinical trials and her contribution as “Patient Number 1” in the most recent of these. Throughout her life, Kassandra’s courage, determined attitude, sense of humor, and concern for others established her as an inspiration not only for her family, friends and colleagues, but for others on a similar journey. We cherish her amazing spirit and the memories she created for and with us. Allen Funeral Home and Crematory, 4155 S. Old State Road 37, Bloomington, Indiana will host visitation on Friday March 29th from 5:00 to 8:00 pm, with a Celebration of Life to be held Saturday March 30th at Sherwood Oaks Christian Church, 2700 East Rogers Road, Bloomington at 1:00 pm.
