Candice Elaine Sherry

Age 68 of White Bear Township. Entered into rest Saturday, January 27, 2018 at home, after a long illness. As she sought to follow Jesus all her life, she waits now in His presence for the resurrection. She was preceded in death by her parents, Leroy and Eunice Shearer, of Spokane, Washington. She is survived by her husband Richard, beloved son Peter and daughter Emily Panzica (John), and her brother, David Shearer, of Spokane. She enjoyed her four grandsons, Eliot and Taylor Sherry and Micah and Caleb Johnson, and her lovely granddaughter, Brie Panzica. Candy was born in Bismarck, ND, and moved with her family to Spokane, Washington, while in high school. After graduating from Washington State University and marrying Rich, she worked at the University of Illinois Library from 1972-1975 while Rich was in graduate school.

After the family moved to Minnesota in 1994, she took a position as records manager at Bonnestroo Rosene Anderlik, a local engineering firm, and in 2000 began as reference librarian and cataloguer at Northwestern College in Roseville. She retired in 2010 because of increasing health difficulties.Candy sought to be a disciple of Jesus Christ throughout her adult life, and her experience of faith was enriched by friendships with many believers, beginning in college and continuing with experiences with The Navigators after graduation.
