Kristin Michelle Sassi

May 8, 1970 - February 8, 2023

A Celebration of life will be held privately.

Kristin Michelle Sassi (52) of Landenberg, PA, passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by her loved ones after a long battle with cancer. Kristin was born in Wilmington, DE on May 8, 1970, she was the daughter of the late Henry A. Prusinski and Beverly (nee, Trzinski) Prusinski and the beloved wife of 26 years to Bruce Sassi.

Kristin received a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Special Education from the University of Delaware. She taught Special Education at H. B. Dupont Middle School for 10 years. Kristin then dedicated her life to being a stay-at-home-mom, raising her five children. Kristin’s greatest joys in life came directly from her family and she cherished every moment with them. She never missed an event for her children and was their greatest cheerleader for their successes and conciliator in their challenges.

Kristin enjoyed exercising at the gym with her husband, reading a good True Crime novel, and fishing at the Jersey Shore and in the Florida Keys. She was also an animal lover, particularly dogs, who were treated more like family members than pets. Kristin especially loved spending family time at their beach house in Ocean City, New Jersey. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Kristin is survived by her loving husband, Bruce; children: Alexia Standt (David), Nicole Holbrook (Matt), Dominic Sassi, Luke Sassi and Mia Sassi; brothers: Gary Prusinski and Michael Prusinski and granddaughter, Penelope.

A private celebration of Kristin’s life will be held by the family. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to www.metavivor.org which is a charitable organization focused solely on helping metastatic breast cancer patients and research.

Sending my deepest condolences to the Sassi family. I hope you never lose your sense of wonder, You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger, May you never take one single breath for granted, God forbid love ever leave you empty handed, I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean, Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens, Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance, And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance. I hope you dance... I hope you dance...I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance, Never settle for the path of least resistance, Livin' might mean takin' chances, but they're worth takin', Lovin' might be a mistake, but it's worth makin', Don't let some Hell bent heart leave you bitter, When you come close to sellin' out reconsider, Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance, And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance. I hope you dance... I hope you dance. I hope you dance... I hope you dance.(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along, Tell me who wants to look back on their years And wonder where those years have gone.) I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean, Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens, Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance, And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.Dance... I hope you dance. I hope you dance... I hope you dance. I hope you dance... I hope you dance. (Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along, Tell me who wants to look back on their years And wonder where those years have gone.)Lee Ann Womack

Time is Too Slow for those who Wait, Too Swift for those who Fear, Too Long for those who Grieve, Too Short for those who Rejoice; But for those who Love, Time is not (Henry van Dyke)So very sorry for your loss

Mr.Sassi, Alexia, Nicole, Dominic, Luke and Mia - I am so sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of Mrs.Sassi standing ringside at horse shows, cheering on Nicole, Luke, and Mia. Sending the entire Sassi family hope, compassion, and strength.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Bruce and Family: Since Alexia started working with Sue, you and your family have been a part of ours. Meeting Alexia and Penelope on many fun occasions has been one of those Delaware “things” as you and I had worked together for many years. Our hearts are broken. We hope that fond memories quickly erase the loss of what should’ve been a young and vibrant wife, mother and confidant. Peace to all
