Candy was an incredible mom, Nana, and friend. She possessed a strong work ethic that was noticed and admired by many. Candy worked multiple jobs throughout her life to ensure that her family was always secure and cared for. She was a kind, gentle person that always thought of others first.
Candy was a world traveler. She enjoyed sharing destination experiences with her friends. She loved new adventures and exploring new places. She enjoyed her daily Mahjong games, BritBox mystery shows, and visiting Presidential Libraries. Candy also relished the opportunity to spend time with her grandkids as "their Uber driver," and shopping and dinner companion.

In lieu of services, the family plans on holding a Celebration of Life in December.
