After her employment with AGT she had numerous short term gigs settling at West Park IGA Pharmacy in Red Deer. She retired in 2016.

Candice loved country music, dogs, children, walking, aerobics, singing, the colour purple and a very clean and tidy home. Candice was very personable & helpful, she enjoyed family gatherings and socializing with customers & friends.

The family are eternally grateful to the staff of Units Chinook & Aurora at the Centennial Centre in Ponoka for taking such tender care of our precious sister Candice. A special thanks to Rita Le Moing and Maureen Wielinga for their initial care and assessment.
