BOURBON — Candace J. Hedington 79, a faithful servant of God, has gone home to be with her Lord and Savior on Dec. 29, 2016, at home. She was surrounded by her husband, Delbert; her children; and her loving dog, Susie. She had been ill the past few months.
She was born Jan. 31, 1937, at Etna Green, to Harley “Hod” and Lela Fern Taylor Mellott. She was a lifelong resident and attended Etna Green High School. She retired in 2001 from Kinder’s Manufacturing, Warsaw. She also was a Red Hat Lady and a member of the Thimble Club of Etna Green, and attended Warsaw Community Church. 
She enjoyed cooking, baking, gardening, camping, traveling, dominos, playing euchre and watching her hummingbirds. But most of all she enjoyed her family. She will greatly be missed by all who knew her.

Also surviving are two sisters, Joy Dickson-Music, Warsaw, and Jane (spouse George) Smith, Sara Vista, Ariz.
She was preceded by her parents and four brothers: Jerry, Jackie, Jim and Roy Mellott.
No visitation is planned. A memorial service will be determined at a later date.
Deaton-Clemens Funeral Home was entrusted with arrangements.
