Obituary
Candance found a love for design at a very young age, making clothing for dolls by the time she was nine years old. She continued on to create string art, portraits, and sculptures and refined her skills at an art school in Cleveland, Ohio. In the early 1960s, her talent took her from Cleveland where she made clothing alterations to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Newark, New Jersey.
Later in life, Candace made a career transition to Health Care, becoming a Nursing Assistant in the Psychiatric ward for several hospitals including Runnels Veterans Administration Hospital and Veterans Administration Hospital at Lyons. She won many performance awards for her twenty-four years of dedicated service. Candace later retired to Albany, Georgia in 2006.
After retirement, Candace enjoyed working at the local Seniors Citizens Center in Albany, Georgia and was an active member of Second Mount Zion Baptist Church.
Candace made her transition on April 16, 2015 at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital.
Candace is preceded in death by four brothers, John Alford, William Alford, Roger Alford, and Robert Alford.
She is survived by her oldest sister, E. Lucille Bridgeman of Mansfield, Ohio; youngest sister, Patricia Y. Vaughn of Albany, Georgia; aunt, Nan M. Kitchens of Newton, Georgia; and several cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Together with the lord.
