Candy's love for others was evident in everything she did. Her grace, courage, and remarkable strength left a mark on everyone she encountered. She made great friendships that followed her through life, and she carried an unconditional love for her family. Above all else, Candy's family was her world. Spending time with Jon and their children brought her so much joy whether it was taking road trips with Weston, shopping with Anna, or cheering for Clayton at a baseball game.
Candy was a 1990 graduate of R. H. Watkins High School. Her college career began at Jones County Junior College and she later continued her education at the University of Southern Mississippi.

Candy was a dedicated member of First Baptist Church of Laurel and proudly served her community through her involvement in the Junior Auxiliary of Laurel.
