Candace Johnson Obituary (1950

Candace Johnson, affectionately known as Candy, was born on April 19, 1950, and lived a life that was as sweet and delightful as her nickname. Candace was smart and dedicated, a woman with a loving heart and a generous spirit. She was an expert in numbers, having served as an accountant, bookkeeper, and controller for several companies. However, her proudest achievement was the family she built with her husband, Gary Johnson. Her dedication to her family, friends, and loved ones was the cornerstone of her life, and she extended this warmth to everyone she met. Candace's home was a haven filled with the sparkle of Princess House crystal, the whimsy of Beanie Babies, and the sound of bells, each item a testament to her unique personality. Throughout her life, Candace lived in various places including Los Angeles, Albany, Lebanon, Elko, Bagdad and her last home in Golden Valley. No matter where she resided, Candace made lasting connections, never meeting anyone who was a stranger for long. Her hobbies were a reflection of her fun-loving and adventurous nature. From collecting cookie jars to winning at slot machines, she lived life to the fullest. Her generous nature was often on display, most notably when she stepped in to help a company in distress, expecting nothing in return. She was indeed a woman of Proverbs 31:26, "She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue." Candace's spirit lives on in her husband, Gary Johnson, and her children, Mark, Carrie, and Lanae, along with their respective partners, Jenn Johnson and John Butler. She also leaves behind a legacy of love in her many grandchildren and siblings. Candace is preceded in death by her parents Bob Agee and Betty Rickert, and siblings, Cindy Agee and Del Agee. As we remember Candace, we are reminded of Corinthians 13:13, "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
