CANDYCE AMANDA FORMO
December1, 1964 – November 6, 2018
Candyce Formo, beloved wife, mother, daughter and friend, age 53, passed away suddenly and peacefully on the evening of Wednesday, November 6, 2018. After a short battle with cancer, she passed surrounded by her family at her parent’s home in West Kelowna.
She was born and raised in North Battleford, SK. There she gave birth to her much loved daughter Brooklyne in 1990. Candyce and Brooklyne met Curtis Formo in 2000 and became a family. Candyce and Curtis were married in 2005 and lived with Brooklyne in Elrose, SK. There, they had an oilfield company and a ranch. In 2014, Candyce and Curtis moved to Greenwood, BC to develop another ranch and to be closer to their daughter Brooklyne.
Candyce took immense pleasure in the simple things in life. Spending time with family and friends gave her great enjoyment. She loved to be outside on the farm and was never happier than when she was on her lawn mower. Very few of those family and friends who knew her as she was growing up would have guessed how much she would love a life on a farm. Her crafty side was always in evidence in the projects that she took on when decorating her home and life. Candyce’s ready smile and great sense of humor attracted people to her and she was a great friend to all who knew her.
She is survived by her loving husband Curtis, their daughter Brooklyne, her parents, Therese and Gerry (Porky) Dexter, and brother Sean Dexter (his wife Chrissy and four children Noah, Josh, Jaedyn, and Rylee), as well as her uncle Raymond and cousins, Lana and Carol. She is predeceased by her grandparents Delia Verret, and Art and Fern Dexter.
It was Candyce’s wish not to have a funeral service. She will be cremated and have her ashes scattered at places that had significance in her life.
In lieu of flowers please donate to Pancreatic Cancer Canada or the charity of your choice.
Candyce wanted no tears and her family encourages everyone who knew her to find their own favorite memory of Candyce and spend a moment remembering her life with a smile.
