She married her love Richard Bickford on November 8th, 1968, and they spent almost 50 years as team "Dicko and Mert". Candy's favorite role in life was being a Nana, she cherished her grandchildren more than life itself. Time with her family meant the world to her. In her spare time, she delved into genealogy, baked, counted down to Christmas, and never missed a day on multi-strike poker. She also enjoyed daily games of Yahtzee with her husband and her son Corey. She was deeply loved and will be missed immensely.
She is survived by her son Corey Bickford, daughter Cayce Palmer and son in law Jon Palmer, and her 4 Grandchildren Turner, Ian, Avery, and William. She is also survived by her siblings Darrell Hute Jr and his wife Elaine, Brenda Berge, and Jamie Hute, as well as her Aunt Marilyn Seibert, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Richard Bickford, her Mother and Father, and her Mother and Father in law. She looked forward to the day they would be reunited in Heaven.
