Heartbreaking Loss: Community Rallies for Beloved Ski Resort Manager Cassidy Arnold

The recent unexpected death of Cassidy Arnold, a beloved day care manager at Heavenly Ski Resort, has left her family and community in shock. Just before Thanksgiving, the 33-year-old passed away due to complications from an emergency C-section. Known for her infectious positivity and commitment to the children in her care, Cassidy had woven a close-knit community around her role at the resort.

As news of her passing spread, it became clear just how loved she was. Friends and families quickly organized a GoFundMe, which has raised over $61,000 to assist her husband, Trent Arnold, and their two young children. Jason Simpson, Cassidy’s father, reflected on her profound impact, as she not only cared for children but also created a supportive environment for families year after year. The community’s outpouring of love reminds us all how one person can make a difference.

With her husband working as a dealer at Stateline casinos, the family now faces the challenge of moving forward without Cassidy. The local community has stepped up in beautiful ways, even providing breast milk for her newborn. Amid this tragedy, they strive to keep life as normal as possible for Cassidy’s 4-year-old son. It’s a story of heartache and resilience that underscores the importance of community in times of grief.
