I've known Ms. Candy since I was a little girl. I have so many memories of hanging out with her in the kitchen preparing annual YAG Christmas dinners on Parkway. I'd watch her command the space with ease preparing dump cakes, cornbread, baked chicken, and even those chitterlings she taught me how to clean. Every time I would see her she would say "lil girl it's good to see you" with the biggest hug. I'm so glad I got to see her just two days before her passing. Even though I'm almost 30 now, she still said "lil girl, it's good to see you". She will be so missed ❤️ sending prayers and love to her sister and my godmother Ms. Chrysti and the entire Chandler family.

Having known this entire family all of my life makes this journey difficult to navigate.....Debra(Candy) was the middle child and always had a desire to help people, eventually turning that into a career helping others as a health professional well needed...Her church membership was dear to her as this was her mother and grandmother's church (Martin Temple)...May God give the family the needed strength to endure.... May He give all of us the strength to endure!!!!!
