Condolences
Our sincere condolences go out to Candy's family, friends and especially my sister, Kathy and her family who were family to Candy! Kathy was the sister that Candy never had.
I went to school with Candy in Prelate. Graduated with her as well. She was such a beautiful gal inside and out. Always had a smile on her face.
We are sorry we couldn't make it to the beautiful funeral service for Candy, but got to watch it online.
Candy will be missed but keep her memory close to your heart!

Candace was a long time friend. We attended each others birthday parties, played dress up, played many different games outside which included cricket which caused broken windows at her house, kick-the-can, run sheep run, ball and many more. We were always together playing some sort of game. We skated pretty much every day in the winter and would play cards and eat copious amounts of dill pickles after skating. We had many many sleepovers with a lot laughing and fooling around. We would ride our bikes from Prelate to Leader (11 kms one way) and then swim all day at the pool and ride our bikes back home to Prelate. We did this countless times. I remember our Mom's allowed us to go the Prelate School dance when we were in Gr. 8. We wore sparkly foamlike dresses. I can't remember exactly what the material was but Candy's dress was sparkly light green and she wore green eyeshadow to match. Arlene and I wore off-white sparkly dresses with blue eyeshadow. We had hairdos to match the dresses. We were sitting against the back wall of gym and in walks Charlie Schwengler (he was part of the band) and he said "don't you girls look nice". Not one of us was asked for a dance. I guess we looked like Michelin Men but with ruffles and sparkles .We thought we looked pretty good and grown up. Candace let her name stand to run for Snow Queen at Prelate School and she won. She was a beautiful and gracious Snow Queen and raised a lot of funds for the school. Elaine, Candace and I went to the Bahamas for a holiday. First big holiday for all three of us. We had a blast swimming, eating, dancing and drinking Bahama Mamas. Candace, Arlene, Greg and I went to Huatulco, Mexico for a holiday. We played tequila volleyball and Candace got a wee bit tipsy and skinned her knees trying to get to the ball. We had a great time together. Candace was such a good natured, kind and a big hearted person and would do anything to help a person out. Margaret (Candace's Mom) was like a second Mom to Arlene and me in being that she too was very kind hearted and compassionate and would do anything to help someone out. Candace was very much like her Mom. We were so shocked and devastated when Candace's Mom passed away at such a young age so suddenly. Candace was like our middle sister and she to has passed away at far to young of an age. Rest in Peace My Friend.
My condolences to all of Candaces family. Remembering the friendship and all the good times we had growing up together in Prelate. Heaven has gained another angel.
Words cannot express the deep sorrow I feel for losing such an amazing lady. Candace was a joy to work with ... always able to smile even when things were tough and able to make others smile around her. Our chats were few and unfortunately far between the last few years, but I will remember our private chats and laughs for years to come. My sincere, heartfelt condolences goes out to her family and friends. It brings some comfort to know that she had so many around her for her last days. Rest in peace beautiful lady.
My sincere and heartfelt condolences for Candace's family and friends.
I worked with Candace for 15 years supporting her in Calgary.
I talked with Candace hundreds, if not thousands of times over the years and we built a great trust and repertoire.
She was unparalleled in her ability to scramble and get others what they needed.
I will really miss our chats and stories we shared back and forth.
Our loss is Heaven's gain.
Candace and I have been friends since childhood. There never was a dull moment playing pranks, games, rookie, swimming, riding bike, ice skating, and her mom's cooking...oh so yummy. Throughout life we remained in contact, sharing joys and heartaches that kept us kindred spirits on a deeper level.
She was intelligent, humble, generous, honest, determined, private, joyful, thankful and kind. She found humor and positivity her source of comfort; though most of all it was her strong faith and trust in God's will that carried her through it all. Rest in Peace dear Candace.
My sincere condolences to family, friends and co-workers. Working for Russel Metals and working in 2 different locations Candace and I would talk regularly. She could make me laugh like no other. We often talked about our mutual love of Hawaii and when we would go there next. I will miss those calls and my fun-loving friend. Aloha e kuʻu hoa !
Candace and I met playing softball in Saskatoon 40 years ago. She was my best friend and travel buddy for many of those years. No matter where we went, we shared tons of laughter, memories, good food and drink. I was the designated driver when a rental car was needed. Map reading was a challenge, as she confused “left and right”. So, we compromised on “your side or my side”! Candy and I shared good times and sad times over the years, and countless hours on the phone after she moved to Calgary. My family “adopted” Candy as another sister for the Britton household. Her battle with cancer was a journey of positivity and her faith. It never wavered. She told me that we all had an expiry date, we just don’t know when it will happen.
I miss you, love you, and although you are not here physically, you are in my heart forever. Rest peacefully my friend.
