Candice Blake Obituary

Dr. Candice "Candy" Leanne Blake, 71, passed away peacefully from natural causes in Knoxville, TN on Tuesday, January 30, 2024. She was born in Lynchburg on June 28, 1952, a daughter of the late Guy Whitfield Hargis and the late Eunice Brizendine Hargis.

She was a member and faithful worker in the Farragut Presbyterian Church in Knoxville, Tennessee. She attended George Mason University receiving a Doctorate in Psychology and pursued a successful career as a Child Psychologist.

Candy had a quiet but sincere spirit that was comforting to be around. She owned many cats in her lifetime, Ebony and Oreo being her last. She cared for and adored them sometimes more than herself. Candy loved reading and listening to gospel music.

She is survived by her brother, Guy Leonard (Len) Hargis; her nephew, Anthony Neal Hargis; her niece Shelley Marie Barnhart and her husband, John Daniel Barnhart; and her great niece and nephew, Hailey-Ann and Benjamin Woodruff and many cousins to include Brenda Nuckles, Elsie Mae Dowdy, Donna Dye, Larry and Gary Brizendine, Steve Morris, C.B. Melton and Judie Davis.

A memorial service will be held at the Old City Cemetery in Lynchburg on Saturday, February 24 at 11 a.m.
