MANSFIELD: Candace “Candy” Kennedy passed away unexpectedly on November 29, 2024. She was 55.
She was born on December 26, 1968 to the late Hubert and Margaret “Karen” (White) Cadle in Abington, Pennsylvania. Candy spent most of her childhood growing up in Elkins, West Virginia before moving to Ohio during her junior year and graduating from Medina High School in 1987. After high school, she went on to pursue her nursing degree from Parma School of Nursing.
On October 29, 2016, Candy married the love of her life, Patrick Kennedy in Parma, Ohio. The couple shared 8 wonderful years together filled with laughter and countless memories.
Candy’s creativity shone brightly in everything she did, from her exquisite interior design and decorating skills to her talent in cake decorating. She was known for crafting beautiful wedding cakes, including her own and those of her siblings, each a testament to her love and craftsmanship. She enjoyed relaxing with a good book and cheering on the Cleveland Browns- through the good and the bad. Above all else though, she was deeply devoted to her family, especially her niece and nephews, whom she lovingly supported throughout their lives.
She is survived by her loving husband Patrick Kennedy, twin sister Sandy (Chris) Kautz, brother Chris (Chasity) Cadle, niece Chelsie (Bryan) Davis, nephews Jacob Cadle and Adam Kautz, aunts Alice Moyers, Daisy Arbogast, and Lois (Tony) Alt, uncles Donald (Rosalie) Cadle and Roy (Maryellen) Cadle, as well as numerous cousins and extended family members.
In addition to her parents, Candy is preceded in death by both her maternal and paternal grandparents.
Per Candy’s wishes, the family will be celebrating her life privately.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Richland County Humane Society.
