Obituary For Rev. Candace Davidson

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.

I met Candace over forty years ago at Kmart. We had a great rapport that lasted for years. Candace didn't have a problem praying with and for me not did she have a problem sharing praise reports with me. Although we didn't see each other much over the years, whenever we crossed paths it was like we had never been away from each other. She'll always have a special place in my heart.

Minister Candace and I met well over 35 years ago. She had the most beautiful eyes that could pierce you. She was kind,honest and God fearing. She was radical for God and we all should be. Last year we had a chance to reconnect at Destiny Church. She was a jewel and will be greatly missed
