Candace Suzan Cantagallo, formerly of Mountainside, sadly passed away on the evening of Sunday, September 15th at the age of 61, after her unrelenting battle with cancer.
She is survived by her husband Gary, and her three children, Alicia, Dylan, and Tyler. Candace was an active member serving as a Captain with the Mountainside Fire Department, EMT with the Mountainside Rescue Squad, and as a firefighter with NJ Forest Fire Service. She also had a successful career as a dental assistant with many years experience working for several N J dentists.
Loved by many and a friend to all, Candy always had the most welcoming smile, lively energy, and a contagious laugh that would light up any space she occupied. She is now with God in heaven with her mom Sally and her son Angelo.
A memorial service for Candace is scheduled for Saturday, September 28 at 11:00am at the Community Presbyterian Church, 1459 Deer Path, Mountainside, and a reception will follow at the church. All are welcome to attend.
