Candy Harrelston was born to Doris and William Harrelston, who precede her in death. She was the sixth born of seven children.

Candy attended Cleveland High School and went on to become a CNA but continued her education and became an LPN which she retired as.

Candy was a loving and caring person. Her personality fits her field of work perfect. Just the sound of her voice touched your heart and shared a love with anyone she knew. Although she never had any children of her own, she raised plenty; most of all her sisters' children. Her love for children was unconditional. She gave to others always and opened her door too many. The time we had with Aunt Candy/Candy will always be remembered and cherished forever and forever.

Candy has three siblings who preceded her in death: Judith Treece, Richard Jackson, and Carolyn Jackson. She leaves to cherish her memories, her companion Lizandro Villarreal, (2) brothers; Johnnie and David Harralston (2) Dogs; Poncho and Molly and a host of nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and nephews.
