It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Candice "Candy" Cavanagh, in hospital on November 12th, 2014 at the age of 64. Candy endured a 20 year battle with cancer, through which she remained at home until her final two days. She fought the battle well, through the support of many at the Ottawa Cancer Clinic, home care, Red Cross, and most importantly her beloved husband and primary caregiver Jim, to whom she was married for 48 years. Candy was born on January 6th, 1950 in Ottawa, Ontario to the late Michael Cagan and Elizabeth Card. She is survived by her husband James Cavanagh, and cherished sons Edward (Sharon) Cavanagh and Trevor (Myrla) Cavanagh. She is also survived by five grandchildren whom she loved dearly; Karen, Kassidy, Ashton, Julia and Ella Cavanagh. Born in Ottawa and raised in Almonte, she moved to Smiths Falls and later to Toledo, where she lived the majority of her life. Candy is also survived by her mother-in-law Eva Cavanagh, sister-in-law Myrna Cavanagh and her two daughters Jackie Ward and Jeannie Casey, sister-in-law Peggy (John) McDonnell and their sons Shamus and Liam, sister-in-law Debbie Cavanagh and her son Rodney. She is also survived by many aunts, uncles and cousins on her side. She was pre-deceased by her loving grandparents Maurice Card and Alice Lamb, as well as her father-in-law Keith Cavanagh and brother-in-law Jack (Debbie) Cavanagh. Candy had many friends from all walks of life. They all had a positive impact upon her life, and she on theirs in return. Candy's presence will be missed sadly by many. We would like to thank the Ottawa Cancer Clinic for their support during Candy's battle. Also deserving gratitude are the Red Cross, Community Access Centre, Bay Shore, the numerous nurses who tended to her care, as well as many friends and neighbours who visited Candy. The extensive support Candy received allowed her to enjoy a longer life and her family to enjoy her in return. We would also like to thank the Smiths Falls Hospital for their compassion and Dr. Muldowney for guiding the family at the end of Candy's battle. The greatest support Candy received during the battle, as well as during her life, came from her loving husband, Jim. Jim demonstrated support through sickness and health to the ultimate degree. Jim was her primary care giver during her final years, and he remained by her side until her final passing.
