Marcia Candella Obituary
Marcia Candella, born on July 26, 1955, was a radiant spirit who entered eternal rest on October 14, 2025. A devoted wife to John Candella, daughter to the beloved Joe and Rita Hines, and a nurturing mother to Jason and Drew, Marcia's legacy is woven through the lives of her children and grandchildren. She embraced her role as a grandmother with joy, shining brightly in the hearts of Joseph, Cassandra, and Alexandria.
Marcia was a vibrant tapestry of love and laughter, a true testament to the beauty of life. Her effervescent personality had a unique way of lighting up every room she graced, her laughter echoing like a sweet melody that lingers in the hearts of those who knew her. As a retired postal worker, Marcia devoted her days to serving others, always putting them first, her big heart evident in her every interaction. Friends and family alike were enchanted by her infectious smile, a beacon of warmth that welcomed all.
As a sister, she shared bonds of laughter and love with Joan, Jack (John), Ally (Joseph), Mike, Reebe (Rita), David, Dianne, Rodney, Bernie and Jenny, forging memories of camaraderie that would stand the test of time. Sadly, she is joined in spirit with her sisters Kathy and Nina, whose presence will be felt deeply in the hearts of their family.
Marcia had an adventurous spirit, reveling in motorcycle and boat rides that showcased her zest for life. She lived on her own terms, filling her days with both the thrill of the open road and the serene beauty of nature. Her voice, strong and true, rang out in every gathering; her opinions were passionate, and her humor was quick, igniting joy in the hearts of everyone around her.
A celebration of Marcia’s remarkable life will be held on October 18, 2025, with visitation starting at 2:00 PM and concluding at 7:00 PM at Sax-Tiedemann Funeral and Crematorium in Franklin Park, IL.
