Blessed with an idyllic childhood and loving parents who doted on their precocious only child with a mind of her own, she grew up with grace and charm in the Old South of the 1950s and '60s. As a speech and drama major at the University of Alabama, vivacious, petite Candy channeled her boundless energy and passion to be "on stage." Marriage, blessed with two darling children, followed ... and then the diagnosis at age 30 that changed her life and her looks forever.Her only chance at survival was a surgery so drastic that, according to her doctors, she would lose the greater portion of her face including the right eye and possibly the left, leaving her severely deformed. Candy awoke with a new face on the outside and a renewed commitment to her Lord on the inside.
