Obituary for Candace "Candy" Williams

Candy was born September 29, 1945 in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania to Robert and Gladys (Proctor) Keil. She was the youngest of her siblings, Barbara, Sue, Judy, Cyndie and her half-sister Dorothea. Candy attended school in Omaha, Nebraska and she graduated from Westside High School in 1963. Later Candy attended college at the University of Nebraska Omaha for a short time and later Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville, Alabama. She was working towards a degree in psychology. In 1969, she married Virgil Williams and they were blessed with two children Jennie and Steve. Candy worked as an insurance underwriter and was involved with Insurance Women of Oklahoma for many years and also served as president of the group. Candy played in a dart league for a long time and made many great friends from her involvement with the league. She also liked to go out dancing with her friends. They used to go every weekend to the So Fine Club up until the time the club closed. She was a nature enthusiast as well. She loved the outdoors, animals, and flowers (especially lilies.) Candy was also an avid OSU fan. She mainly rooted for the Cowboys Football and Basketball teams. Not only a college sports connoisseur; she was also a huge Thunder fan and supported the team by watching almost every single one of their games. Candy had a lot of activities she enjoyed but most of all enjoyed spending time with family and grandchildren. She loved going to the zoo. It gave her the perfect mix of family and nature, two of her favorite things. Candy was a sweet spirit and she will be deeply missed by her family and friends. She will always be remembered for her great sense of humor and her love of family.
