Candida Estabrooks of Riverview, N.B. passed away on October 4th, 2025 after a lengthy illness.
Born in Sackville, N.B. and brought up in Port Elgin, Candy was the youngest daughter of the late Beulah (Carter) and Arnold Estabrooks. She was also pre-deceased by her sister Donna Murray, brother-in-law Steward Murray and nephew David Murray. She is survived by her nieces Kimberley Murray-Atkinson (Michael) of Shediac, N.B. and Gail (Ken) Magee of Lower Sackville, N.S. She will be sadly missed by her very good friends Mary Ann and Michael Jeffries and their daughters Ellen, Elizabeth and Candy’s Goddaughter Emily.
Candy worked for over 30 years for the Federal Government, first with the Correctional Service in Dorchester and Edmonton, and for many years with Transport Canada in Moncton, and in the years prior to her retirement, reporting to Ottawa.
Candy was a spiritual person who was generous with her time and resources to help those in need. She was a grateful friend of Bill W. and Lois W. and lived their principles to the best of her ability. She loved to travel and had a keen interest in genealogy, holistic medicine and healing touch.
