WITH PROFOUND SADNESS, WE ANNOUNCE THE PASSING OF OUR BELOVED CANDACE MARIE MCALLISTER,

WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE ON JULY 15, 2026, AT THE AGE OF 36.

ANN ECHOLS. SHE WAS A LOVING MOTHER, DEVOTED WIFE, TREASURED SISTER, AND LOYAL FRIEND WHOSE BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT TOUCHED THE LIVES OF EVERYONE SHE MET.

HER GREATEST JOY IN LIFE WAS HER CHILDREN, TASHIANA, MAZIKEEN, AUBREY, AND XAIVION. THEY WERE THE CENTER OF HER WORLD, AND SHE LOVED THEM WITH ALL HER HEART.

CANDACE WAS A GIFTED NAIL AND LASH TECHNICIAN WHOSE TALENT WAS MATCHED ONLY BY THE

KINDNESS OF HER HEART. SHE TOOK GREAT PRIDE IN HER WORK, USING HER CREATIVITY AND ARTISTIC

TOUCH TO HELP OTHERS FEEL BEAUTIFUL, CONFIDENT, AND EMPOWERED. TO CANDACE, BEAUTY WAS MORE THAN APPEARANCE; IT WAS ABOUT MAKING PEOPLE FEEL LOVED, VALUED, AND WORTHY. HER CHAIR WAS MORE THAN A PLACE FOR A SERVICE; IT WAS A PLACE OF LAUGHTER, ENCOURAGEMENT, HEARTFELT

CONVERSATIONS, AND GENUINE CONNECTION. HER RADIANT SMILE, COMPASSIONATE SPIRIT, AND

GENEROUS HEART TOUCHED COUNTLESS LIVES. SHE LOVED DEEPLY, GAVE FREELY, AND HAD AN

EXTRAORDINARY ABILITY TO BRIGHTEN EVEN THE DARKEST DAYS. THOUGH HER PRESENCE WILL BE DEEPLY MISSED, THE LOVE, JOY, AND LIGHT SHE SHARED WILL CONTINUE TO SHINE IN THE HEARTS OF ALL WHO KNEW AND LOVED HER.
