Candace Ann Williams

Candy was the oldest of three children and the only daughter of Robert Woods Sr. and Louise Hoppe. She and her two brothers grew up in Mineola, Long Island, New York, where she cherished the memories of her childhood and family.

Candy was preceded in death by her parents, Robert Woods Sr. and Louise Hope; her brother, Laurance Woods, who passed away at the age of 42; and her granddaughters, Alicia Ann Keene, who passed away at four months old, and Tiffany Lee Ann Keene, who passed away at the age of 36.

She is survived by her daughter, Christina Ann Leatherman; son-in-law, Richard Leatherman; granddaughter, Tricia Lee Keene; great-grandson, Kelahni Harriel; great-granddaughter, Rhyatt Alicia Keene; cousin, Nancy Schaef; step-grandson, Eric Leatherman; and step-granddaughters, Shauna Anderson and Tiffany Bradtmueller.

Candy devoted more than 40 years of her life to Walmart, a place she truly loved. Throughout those years, she formed many meaningful friendships, and the people she worked alongside became so much more than coworkers—they were an extension of her family. Candy treasured those friendships and the many memories they shared.

She will be remembered for the love she had for her family, the friendships she built throughout her life, and the lasting impact she made on the people fortunate enough to know her. Her presence will be deeply missed, but the memories she created will remain in the hearts of those who loved her.
