Candace's obituary
Candace Rae (Craycraft) Alexander a single mother passed away in hospice January 21, 2024 at the age of 43 due to complications from a surgury which led to a stroke. Survived by; her 4 sons, Ian (7), Jakob (15), Shawn (19), and Austin (20). Her passion for life was matched only by her witt. Which served her well, making life long friends in every avenue she traveled, whether it be being the president of the drama club, or loved by everyone who worked with her at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. Her passions included cooking the best meals for her friends and family, cheering the Bengals, listening to a variety of music genres, and binge watching her favorite shows like Grey's Anatomy, Sons of Anarchy, and Yellowstone. She was a strong, brave, and intelligent woman, who instilled those virtues in her sons who she couldn't be more proud of. She will be dearly missed by everyone who had the beautiful fortune of knowing her.
In lieu of flowers the family has asked for support to help cover the cost of her funeral and expenses that arise with the underage children she has left behind. The family received a termination of her FMLA and her employment on Jan. 2nd, the day she went into the hospital, which we have been told has caused a loss of her insurance policy that was anticipated to cover the costs associated with this unexpected loss.
