Candace *last name removed*, 44, died peacefully Nov. 12, 2009, after a determined and courageous battle with breast cancer.
A third-generation Whitefish native, Candace was born July 21, 1965, the eldest daughter of John and Phyllis *last name removed*. A 1983 graduate of Whitefish High School, she went on to graduate from the University of Montana where she met her best friend and future husband Stuart *last name removed*.
In March 1991, two beautiful premature babies were born into their family: Alec and Devon. Candace and Stuart made a formidable team and their boys came home in August of that year. Sadly, Devon died just before his fourth birthday.
Once she knew the battle she faced, Candace stated, "I have cancer, but it doesn't have me. If the doctors have something to report, I'll be out riding my bike." Until recently, she lived each day to the fullest. She was determined to see Alec graduate from high school in 2010, but her body betrayed her.
Candace was preceded in death by grandparents Louise and Leroy *last name removed* and Alta *last name removed*; uncle James *last name removed*; and brother-in-law Richard *last name removed*.
She is survived by her husband Stuart; son Alec; parents Jack and Phyllis *last name removed*; sister Cindy *last name removed*; uncles Charles *last name removed* and wife Robin, of St. Helens, Ore., and Rodney *last name removed* and wife Candace, of Columbia Falls; aunt Hazel *last name removed* and husband Robert, of Joplin; father- and mother-in-law William and Patricia *last name removed*, of Gold Canyon, Ariz.; sisters-in-law Karen *last name removed* and husband Ray, of Colorado Springs, Colo., and Carol *last name removed* and husband William, of The Hague, Netherlands; brother-in-law Steven *last name removed* and wife Toni, of Washington, D.C.; special friends Jennifer *last name removed*, Zana *last name removed*, Sandy *last name removed* and Darrell *last name removed*; and numerous other family members and friends.
A celebration of life will be held at the *address removed*, on Saturday, Nov. 21, at 5 p.m.
Memorials may be made to *personal information removed*.
