It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Candy Donahue, formerly Candy Crouchman (né Carole Ann Miller), daughter of Stella Miller (né Fuller) of Kent, England and Barry Miller of North Bay, Ontario. Candy passed unexpectedly on May 28, 2017 in Northbrook, Ontario.
She leaves her husband Michael Donahue of Northbrook ON, her son Cameron Crouchman, her grand-children Gage and Joel of Kanata ON, her son Ryan Crouchman and his partner Jim Verburg of Toronto ON, her brother Brad Miller of Caledon, ON, her niece Stefanie and nephew Braeden. She also leaves behind her step-mother and friend Adrienne, and Mike’s siblings Susan, Mary Jane, Cathy, Connie and Patrick and their partners.
Candy lived a full life with many beautiful chapters. Born in Kent, England, Candy moved to Canada at the age of four. A graduate from Queen’s University and McArthur faculty of Education, she brought her enthusiasm to teaching at Sydenham High School. Upon the arrival of her sons she devoted her time and love to raising a family with her ex-husband John, before returning to an active career in University medical administration. Candy married her husband Mike on Valentine’s day in 2006, and they shared many happy years together travelling and spending their summers running Hunter’s Creek Golf Course. A large part of her big heart was filled with joy being “Nanny” to her grand-children Gage and Joel.
Candy was a unique, creative, energetic and beautiful person who was very much loved by her family and those who had the pleasure of knowing her. She will be greatly missed. A tribute to her life will be held this Saturday, June 3rd at Milestone Funeral Center (also knows as Maschke Funeral Home), 11928 Highway 41, Northbrook, Ontario. Visitation starts at noon with the ceremony beginning at 1pm. Donations to your local food bank in lieu of flowers would be appreciated. Online condolences can be shared with the family at www.milestonefuneralcenter.com
