WORTHAM, TX -- A major accident in Central Texas claimed the life of a Sherman woman over the weekend. The Mexia Daily News reports 25-year-old Cassandra Scott died Sunday night near Wortham.

Scott graduated from Sherman High School in 2001. Friends say she will be remembered for her love of animals.

A scholarship fund is being set up in her honor to the College of Veterinary Medicine at Texas A&M in College Station.

Cassandra was one of the most caring people I knew and a very loyal friend. She was always there for me as well as anyone else...she never met a stranger. Those that knew her were the lucky ones. I was honored to have her stand beside me the day I married and though this time is heartbreaking for so many of us, she will always be loved and remembered. She will remain in our hearts forever!

Cassandra had a smile that would brighten the room when she walked in, she never met a stranger, and was always there to cheer you up. She has impacted everyones lives that knew her, and those that weren't given the chance have missed out on a spectacular person. Life without Cassandra will not be the same, all memories of her will be cherished. Please pray for her family, friends, and fiance' Daniel Crow.

Cassandra was the most loving and caring person to so many people. Her life was an inspiration for all who knew her. She had a passion for life that we have never seen in another person. To lose a best friend is heartbreaking, and she will always be loved, remembered, and honored.
