Memorial Service
Candice Joy “Candy” Deininger, 68, of Lexington
passed away peacefully, surrounded by friends, on Thursday, July 29, 2021 after
a brief illness. She was born to the
late Albert Otto Deininger and Ruth Elizabeth (nee Goodall) Deininger on June
12, 1953 in Barre, Vermont.
Candy graduated from Montpelier High School in
Vermont and earned her B.A. in Organizational Management from Midway
College. She was a supervisor for many
years at KY American Water Company, beginning her career there in 1989. In 2004, she began working for
Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government as Revenue Supervisor, retiring in
2015.
She was a member of Trinity United Methodist
Church in Montpelier as well as the Ladies Auxiliary of the VFW Post 792.
Candy was a very caring, loving and generous
sister and friend who always took time to help others. She was a good listener, loved to converse
and demonstrated a wicked sense of humor.
Well-practiced in lighting up a room at parties, Candy’s signature laugh
would draw looks of wonder and amazement, bringing smiles and laughter to
everyone. She had an incredible zest for
life. Candy had a green thumb and
enjoyed sharing flowers from her garden, especially bountiful, fragrant
peonies. She loved to cook, watch
cooking shows and try new recipes for her friends. Christmas was her favorite time of year as
she decorated every room in her house and never had fewer than three
trees. Candy had an expansive ornament
collection and each ornament had special meaning to her. She enjoyed entertaining any time of the
year, but Christmas was her favorite.
Candy loved animals, but especially her kitties who lived the good
life. Musically talented, she had
perfect pitch. Candy enjoyed traveling
and experiencing new adventures.
Traveling to Spain was one of her most memorable trips.
She is survived by two sisters, Deanna
(Frederick) Rugo of No. Smithfield, Rhode Island and Sandra (Amerigo) Yacavoni
of Northfield, Vermont; three nieces, three nephews, eight grandnieces and
three grandnephews, as well as a host of cousins.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in
death by her sister Carole Bonin.
A memorial service will be held on August 21,
2021 at 11:00 a.m., at Milward-Broadway, 159 N. Broadway, Lexington, KY 40507.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Lexington
Humane Society are encouraged.

saysI have so many wonderful memories of Candy when she worked with us at The Vermont Division for Historic Preservation. She made work fun and entertaining and was always proud of the work she did. She made sure that anything that was sent out of the office looked professional and reflected will on all of us. Just thinking of her always brings a smile to my face. What a gal!
