Candy was a good soul. Will always be grateful for her visits to help with Mom over the past several years. Even as her own health worsened, she remained positive, strong and independent.

To Candy’s family: Our sincerest sympathies to each of you. I worked with Candy at Honeywell for many years, but more importantly, became her friend outside of work. She spoke of her family all the time, those from “back home” and those here in the Twin Cities. She was proud to be from Montana, and I could tell how much she loved her friends and family. There isn’t enough space on this website for me to express my love and admiration for her. We spent many fun times together, and I miss her greatly. Love and prayers to you. You are in my thoughts.
Kathy Muller Ogle says
I was Candy’s friend and roommate at MSU — she was a remarkable person and a great friend! We had a wonderful visit together about three years ago. I will miss her and my thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

My heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to the Roberts family at this time. Candy was a woman with a heart of pure gold. When we suffered a loss six years ago, she was there for my brother and sister-in-law. I’ll never forget how thoughtful she was to us during our time of grieving. May she rest in peace. May God Bless and comfort all of you during this time.
