Mrs. Anastasia Marie Massey

A Loving Tribute To Anastasia Marie Massey: On February 20, 1987, a ray of sunshine beamed its light on everyone in High Queens, New York. Her name was Anastasia Marie McFarlane, affectionately known as Brandee. As a smart, outgoing, and charming little girl she flourished in her academics. Participating in extracurricular activities, like track and field and chorus, Anastasia quickly became popular amongst her peers. But it was more than just her abilities that made her so likeable, it was her spirit. Spirit in which she was rich, an outspoken and determined young lady grew to be an even more tenacious woman. While attending school in Greensboro, NC, she met a witty individual in whom she felt comfortable to love and be loved by. Anastasia met her future husband Joseph Massey in January of 2005. The hopelessly romantic young adults quickly fell in love and became a family and support for one another. Giving birth to their eldest son, Demetrius on Thanksgiving of 2005, the young parents had a lot to be thankful for but, the bus didn’t stop there. Continuing the growth of her family, Anastasia later gave birth to her first baby girl Journee, all the while finishing her schooling and obtaining her High School Diploma from Queens Academy High School. She wanted to fulfill her dreams and be a great example for her family, so she went even further by enrolling into ASA College. She loved her children! Working long days and nights to maintain a way of living that suit them best. Anyone that crossed paths with her knew of her selflessness. She’d give her last for her loved ones and friends alike. As cliché as it sounds, there’s nothing but truth to it. She gave, pouring into others her contagious spirit, impressing the strongest with her strength and instilling the importance of education into her children. Staying on the track of growing her family and education, she later gave birth to her youngest son, Jo’El (born in 2008) and daughter Dominque (born in 2010). Following this, she received her Associates of Occupational Studies in Pharmacy Technology on April 2, 2013. But that wasn’t the only great accomplishment of that year because months later Anastasia married the love of her life Joseph Massey on June 10, 2013. Wanting to cultivate all of God’s gifts, she also enrolled herself into Cosmetology School the fall of 2014, at Empire Beauty School. Unfortunately, our sweet Brandee wouldn’t finish the task at hand. Wednesday November 26, 2014, God gained two angels, Anastasia and Angel Massey.
