Born December 10, 1942, in Dover, she was the daughter of the late Richard and Dorothy (McKittirick) Marsh.

She had sewn everything from western wear to tuxedos to costumes to casket covers. Candace sewed and embroidered for her own enjoyment as well. She was also an avid reader, particularly of romance novels.

Candace is survived by her children, Tonya (John) Vest and Patrick (Heather) Buckohr, both of Canton, Charo (George “Ed”) Case of Dover, and Julie (Greg) Jones of Massillon; her grandchildren, Davie Harris, Richard Walters, Abigail Dennis, Helen Kail, Sarah Kelly, Rhonda Bonnell, Patrick and Joseph Buckohr, Kayla and Lucas Yoder and Victoria Jones; her many great-grandchildren; and her great-great-grandson.

Honoring her wishes, Candace will be cremated, and there will be no visitation or ceremony.
