Candy was an avid and expert genealogist during her spare time. Especially in compiling the history of the Owen and Walker families, as well as some of her friends. Because of her avid interest in genealogy, she became a member of Daughters of the American Revolution and Society of Indiana Pioneers. Candy traveled to Ireland, England and France and conducted family background searches while on holiday. She enjoyed quiet times at home with family and friends, and taking long leisurely walks with her beloved dogs. Candy spent weekends visiting local markets, craft fairs, and specialty events. Candy loved following Indiana University basketball – Go Hoosiers!
