Obituary

We bid farewell to Candace Lee Clark whose journey of life gracefully concluded on June 7, 2025 at the age of 76.  Candy touched countless lives with warmth and kindness, leaving behind cherished memories that will forever echo in the hearts of family and friends.

Candy passed away from a cardiac event at the UF Health The Villages Hospital in The Villages, Florida. She was born in Springfield, Ill on March 11, 1949 to her loving parents Frank and Dolores Jean (Patterson)Foree.

She lived in many various places though out her childhood and during her marriage to George B Clark. After retiring to The Villages, she took golf lessons and pursued the game with vigor. She golfed and practiced as much as she could, striving for perfection in this new endeavor.

Candy loved to paint and was the owner/operator of a framing shop (The Right Angle) in Amarillo, Texas for many years where she created unique frames to enhance artwork and original paintings for her clients. Since July 1986, Candy was a member of Professional Picture Framer's Guild.

She volunteered and fostered for the Schnauzer Love Recuse of Florida; adopting her current "Boys" Baxter and Reggie.

As a Master Gardener, she loved to help others with garden designs and plant suggestions. Her yard was a delight to her offering a winding stone path to view new blooms or plants as well as the tadpoles and lilies in the frog pond.

Prior to retirement, Candy was one adventurous gal.  She traveled to England and other places, always keeping her camera handy to snap a scene for her next painting. She always challenged herself to be the best in every endeavor she pursued.  She trained 4-6 hours daily during her body building period and won many awards for her dedication to the sport.  After completing a course in California for Race Car Driving, she competed in demolition derbies. Bike racing was another passion.

She was preceded in death by her husband George B. Clark and her parents Frank and Dolores Foree. She is survived by, brother Michael Frank Foree of Phoenix Arizona; sister, Janice Ann Dunivan of Albuquerque New Mexico; niece, Valerie Lynne Holliday of Vancouver, Washington; and step-daughter, Tracy Lynn Prahl of Brownsburg, Indiana.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, July 19, at 12:00 noon, in the Hibuscus Recreation Center, 1740 Bailey Trail, The Villages.
