Candace Faye Conway

April 14, 1988 - July 24, 2021

Candace Faye Conway, 33, of Charlotte, NC, died July 24, 2021, at Franciscan Hospice House in University Place, Washington. Candace was born in Charleston, SC, on April 14, 1988, the daughter of Sandra Futch and Mitch Murphy. Her family moved to Charlotte in 1999, and graduated from Butler High School. She attended Paul Mitchell Cosmetology School while supporting herself as a waitress. She was diagnosed with a metastatic cancer and had gone to Washington for treatment. Very smart, she was proud of receiving a letter from then President Clinton in the second grade congratulating her on her grades. By the ripe old age of 7, she was able to get into her neighbor’s AOL account. She would even create and remember college level papers long before graduating high school. Candace used some of her talents to become a master shopper. If you needed something, she could give you a deal on it and often, she knew you needed it before you did. Most of all, Candace was a people person, and her sense of humor and laughter was both infectious and uplifting. Her unique spirit and blessing will not soon be forgotten. Candace is survived by her children: Jayce Daniel Conway, 16, and Julianna Kamryn Conway, 11; her parents, Sandra Futch and Mitch Murphy ( Donna ); her siblings: Mandy Renee Conway of Charlotte; Samantha Louise Conway of Charlotte, and Mitchell Murphy II of Spanish Fort, Alabama; and her uncle, David Murphy of Georgetown, Texas. She is further survived by numerous cousins, other relatives and friends too numerous to name. She was preceded in death by her grandparents: Emory and Yvonne Murphy, and Faye and John Conway. Candace’s family has given the family of Lowe-Neddo Funeral Home the privilege of caring for her and for them.
