CANDACE'S OBITUARY
Candace Virginia Call Young, 72, passed away in Idaho Falls on Wednesday, October 10, 2018, following an accident at her home in Soda Springs several days earlier. She left this life peacefully, surrounded by all her children and her husband, Dr. Gerald Young.
Candy was born July 1, 1946, in Soda Springs to Osborne and Janice Call, as the third of five children. Growing up, she prided herself in being a tomboy, and her hero was Calamity Jane. Candy graduated from Soda Springs High School in 1964 and later earned a bachelor’s degree in Childhood Development and Family Relations from Brigham Young University. She married her high school sweetheart Jerry in 1967, and after he completed his medical training, they settled in Soda to raise their two daughters and four sons.
Candy’s greatest joy was the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and she lived it every day, touching the lives of everyone she met in ways that helped them be better people. In just one of countless examples, Candy and Jerry taught Sunday School to inmates, encouraging them to help craft humanitarian gifts, which Candy then delivered to children suffering from HIV in Chile. She loved sharing the Gospel in whatever way she could. Often described as easy to talk to, open-minded, and hard-working, she had many close friends locally and all around the world.
She delighted in supporting her children and her 25 grandchildren in the activities they pursued, driving hundreds of thousands of miles to always be there, even if just quietly in the background. Candy never missed a birthday, baptism, recital, or big game. And when she couldn’t be with her family, she served them in other ways, such as the 37 cross-stitched Christmas stockings that will always be treasured.
Candy loved traveling the country and the world, such as touring Europe with her kids and grandkids, visiting Church history sites, roaming the Scottish highlands, and walking in the Holy Land—watching the sun rise from the peak of Mount Sinai. Weaving together her love of adventure, her love of the restored Gospel, and her love of horses, she rode in 1997 with Jerry over the historic pioneer trail, recording the very taxing and rewarding experience in one of the 192 journals she filled during her life.
One region of the world that was especially close to Candy’s heart was the Pacific. She attended the Church College of Hawaii (now BYU-Hawaii) and formed lifelong friends from across Polynesia and beyond. She continued to visit family and friends in the region, most recently visiting Fiji earlier this year.
Surviving her are her husband Jerry; her siblings Sharon (Larry) Anderson of St George, UT; Craig (Janine) Call of Plain City, UT; Lance (Kathy) Call of Lehi, UT; her children Matthew (Marla) Young of Shelley; Maurie (Rob) Garr of Providence, UT; Micah (Summer) Young of Fruit Heights, UT; Marc (Stephanie) Young of Meridian; Melissa (Alasdair) Macleod of South Jordan, UT; McKay (Anna) Young of Thayne, WY; and 27 grandchildren, including spouses. She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Jay Call, and a son-in-law Setareki Kaumaitotoya.
A viewing will take place from 5:00 – 7:00 pm on Sunday, October 14 at Sims Funeral Home in Soda Springs. Another viewing will be held on Monday from 12:00 to 1:00 pm at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints meetinghouse (290 South, 3rd West) prior to funeral services, which will begin at 2:00 pm. Interment will be in Soda Springs. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to LDS Philanthropies.
“…the spirits of those who are righteous are received into a state of happiness, which is called paradise, a state of rest, a state of peace, where they shall rest from all their troubles and from all care, and sorrow.” (Alma 40:12)
