Candice Collins-Noël

Candi passed away suddenly and peacefully in her favourite place on August 1, 2024; Born on November 24, 1957, in Vernon BC, to Laura Helen Collins, Candi lived in many places throughout her life but found her true home to be with her beloved children in Sidney, BC. Since moving in with them in 2021, she filled her days cooking, baking, gardening, finding recipes, decorating her place, watching her shows, and caring for her family and Mom, Grandma Laura.

Candi was a master in the kitchen and true caretaker at heart. She loved being in the kitchen, chopping her ingredients ever so precisely and took immense joy from feeding her people. No one could make a soup or fresh chicken strips like Gramma Candi. Beyond the kitchen, she cherished days spent at the lake and ocean with family and was often found scooting on her red scooter down to the beach and pier in Sidney with her little dog.

Candi adored her family and pets. She is survived by her devoted kids, daughter and son, Nicole and Nathaniel, her son in law, Joshua, daughter in law, Tegan, her precious grandchildren, Cadence and Sawyer, her little dog Rowdy and her big cat Loki. Missing her also is her mother Laura, and siblings: Barry, Michael (Betty), Sandra (John), Darlene, Stephen (Gael), Robert (Tammy) and Melanie. She shared a special bond with her Aunt Linda and was heartbroken to say goodbye to her sister-in-law Janice, not long ago. Her memory will be cherished in the hearts of her many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

She is deeply missed and loved. A celebration of life will be announced to family and friends. In lieu of flowers, condolences and photos can be posted here or sent to ciaoemels@me.com.
