Candace Lea Coykendall was called to heaven March 19, 2021, into the waiting arms of her grandfather “BO” whom she missed so much. She was also greeted by her other grandparents Ray and Joelene, and cousin, Mathew. She will never be forgotten by her mother and dad Cindy and David Coykendall; grandmother, Marge; special friend, Ashley; and her two fur babies Batman (aka MR MR) and Bella, along with many aunts and uncles, cousins, and friends.
Candace spent her nights helping to lead workers at CMS, a Nu-Wool company where she helped make insulation panels or products for large customers such as Amazon. Days where spent trying to get some sleep and taking care of her two beloved dogs, who seemed not to let her rest much.
Candace was a big-hearted person and would call you a friend if you sat down and talked with her. She wore her love for people on her sleeve and would help you out if she could find a way. Whether it was just listening or giving a person a ride, she was there. Candace spent the last few years trying to find her way through the maze we call life. She was always searching for answers and fighting back the darkness. She was stubborn and thick like her father and quick-tempered like her mother. Candace was a gentle person and loved animals - from her beloved childhood golden retriever, “Copper,” to “Batman” and “Bella” she has today. She would want to be remembered for all the laughs and good times she had with people whose path crossed hers. She would want those, who may be struggling, to learn from her pain and get the help that they may need, and never stop moving forward. She is now resting and without any pain; she is the brightest star you will ever see when you look to heaven. She will never have to worry about the darkness again. “GOD” has now freed her from the fight and has taken up the battle for her.
