Rose Samples
1998 ~ 2018
Candace Rose Samples (our Candy Loo) age 20, was taken from us tragically on November 7, 2018 in Salt Lake City. She was the victim of a violent crime. She was born October 30, 1998 to Roselyn Williams and Brian Samples. She lived with her Great Grandparents from age 2-4 and then came to live with her Great Aunt and Uncle who quickly became Mom Annette and Dad Quito. Candace lived a big life in a short time. She was outgoing and friendly and made friends easily. Her best friend was her big "Sissy" Celeste. These two were like Thelma and Louise wreaking havoc and making life crazy, fun chaotic and exciting. Sometimes a little too exciting and she was moved to a wonderful foster family - her foster mom Dawn Grames was her saving grace for the time she lived with her. Candace reconnected with her Mom Rose and came back to live with her Aunt and Uncle. Candace wanted to make her own rules which led her away from her family who waited for her return with open arms. She had such a big heart and a wild spirit that just couldn't be bottled. You are free to fly now baby girl, watch over us until we meet you on the other side. Candace is survived by her Mom Rose and step dad Blashford Williams, big "Sissy" Celeste Swift (Jake), Little"Sissy" Kayla Williams, little brother James LeCheminant, Great Aunt and Uncle Quito and Annette Atwood, four bonus brothers, Indiana Atwood (McKenzie), Dakota Atwood (Shantelle), Nebraska Atwood and Montana Atwood, Great Grandparents John and Pat Maurer, Great Aunt and Uncle Earl and Sandy Saddler, Grandma Cherie, Grandma Debbie, Nana Nancy and Dad Brian. Also many more cousins, aunts, uncles and friends who loved Candace and worried about her daily. Candace is preceded in death by her Grandpa Charlie. Thank you Aunt Sandy for loving her so much and always being there for her. A big shout out to all of the Counselors who did all they could to help her, Regina, Lindsey, Sigrid.
