Lar Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Such sad news. I never even had any contact with her, that I can recall, and it still hits like a ton of bricks. This is the first time I've been a part of a forum community that has lost one of it's own.RIP, Oldiesgal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little miss dangerous Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 She was a lovely lady. She had a contest on her 50's website and the prize was the dvd "Witness" starring Viggo Mortensen. She hinted that if I entered the contest, I might have a chance to win. I entered and won. She will be missed. She was a beautiful person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croc1 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I won one of her contests, and got the "All Time Top 100 Tv Themes" cd. We use to chat often. Her contact stopped and I never knew why. I hope she's at peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Ferrariman Posted January 18, 2009 Author Administrators Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Oldiesgal updateNot being happy with the vague details of the obituary (which is why I didn't post it sooner) I managed to contact Candace's brother Mike. He sadly confirmed that it was indeed the Candace we all knew and loved. He told me that she passed quickly and painlessly last May in the company of family. Mike said she loved her online community (both 50's and Vice) and in accordance with her wishes he will continue to run the 50's website that she loved so much. To quote Mike: "I am maintaining the web site according to her wishes but I could never copy the wit, intelligence or level of involvement that she brought to everything she did."Amen to that!I passed along our condolances from the Vice communityhttp://www.fiftiesweb.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivoryjones Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I'm really sorry to hear that. It's perhaps too late to say anything that could make a difference, but I wish that his family and closest friends carry on in the best way possible, which I believe is letting go her last moments and remembering who she was and how they felt when they were with her...

Pandina Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I remember Oldiesgal because I thought she had style and that's why I asked her advice on the red lipstick she was wearing in her picture. Even though our contact was limited, this news made me sad.RIP, Oldiesgal, you will always be remembered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
