October 25, 1975 - February 21, 2025
In loving memory ~
Candy Grace Angela Maybroda (nee Sanders), age 49, passed away Friday February 21, 2025, at the Jubilee Hospital. Born October 25, 1975, in North Vancouver to Glen and Doreen Sanders she was one of four daughters.
At just 22 years old, Candy met her soulmate in Brent which put her life on a trajectory filled with love and creating her own family and life in Sidney, BC. Candy loved being a wife and mother to her beautiful children and had the uncanny ability to make all those around her feel the joy that came from her soul. She loved animals and would pet a crocodile if she thought it was friendly enough. She was the assistant manager at the Great Canadian Dollar Store on Beacon Ave in Sidney, where she created a wonderful community for her colleagues and the people who visited the establishment.
She was creative beyond measure and loved celebrating the holidays. You would find her dressed up on Halloween, wearing fun accessories to celebrate Easter and Valentines Day and her Christmas tree was always one of the first up to celebrate the season. Hope and Joshua benefited from their mother's creative side with Hope often having the best hair on wacky hair day at school.
You could often find Candy walking Beacon Avenue with a Starbucks in hand, saying hello to the locals as she was known and loved by so many in the community. Her warm and welcoming smile, accompanied by her beautiful calm voice, and wonderful giggle, encouraged everyone around her to stop and smile with her.
Candy is survived by her beloved husband, Brent, and two beautiful children Joshua and Hope, as well as her sisters, Adriana, Erika and Mary-Anne and many friends and extended family members. Candy is predeceased by her parents.
