    I just learned of Candy’s passing today. I am so upset at missing the service. Candy was my first true friend. She lived behind my grandparent’s house in Brentwood. We were together all of the time. Candy will be missed by everyone that knew her.

She graduated Harrison High School with the Class of ’69.  She worked at St. Mary’s for over 20 years until retirement but continued to work because she just loved her job so much.
