Reverend Candace Vadrene Davidson was born in Lincoln County, North Carolina on June 21, 1939 to the late James Davidson and the late Ethel McDaniel. God called her from her labor to get her reward on Tuesday; December 7, 2021 at Caromont Regional Medical Center, Gastonia, North Carolina.

Rev. Candace received her calling and was licensed to preach the gospel on August 6, 2006. To continue in her calling and ministering, she was a member of the Gaston County Missionary Baptist Association of North Carolina and an affiliate member of the National Christian Counselors Association. She received her certification in North Carolina school age childcare and completed training as a volunteer in the community as a hospice chaplain. Rev. Candace worked and retired from K-mart after seventeen years and York Chester Junior High School after twenty-six years. She was considered by the City Gastonia as a “transit mom” because she was always providing cookies, cakes, candy, knives, forks or whatever was needed. She will be truly missed by every one that knew or had contact with her.

Precious memories will be forever cherished by her family: Kevin Marks of Goose Creek, SC, Maureen Marks-Diew (Tony) of Dallas, North Carolina and Diane Marks; nieces: Charlotte Horne, Pruella Hunter and Joyce Love; grandchildren: Temon, Travis, Laianna, Sadonna and Clarissa; seventeen great grandchildren and other relatives and friends.
