Candace S. Brosowsky Obituary (1958

A smile like sunshine Candace Brosowsky, age 60, of Washington D.C. passed away December 26, 2018, after gracefully living with the debilitating effects of cancer for 1-½ years. She was optimistic throughout often saying “It’s all good” and had a smile for everyone. Candace was born April 12, 1958 in Milwaukee WI to Glenn and Lois (Koehler) Brosowsky. She attended Oak Creek High School and graduated in 1976. She went on to UW-Oshkosh and graduated with a degree in Radio-TV-Film in 1985. After college she turned a weeklong visit with her brother in Washington DC into her home for 30 years. She embraced the culture and pace of the DC area. Candace worked various jobs with a talent for sales and marketing. She was involved in the Walker Chapel where she became part of the choir and church members were her extended family. Her involvement with Walker Chapel gave her faith to endure her illness and celebrate each day. Candy loved to Polka! She loved all music, and definitely Polka. She would follow favorite bands and dance, dance, dance. If there was a dance floor, she’d be on it and if there was a party, she’d be in the middle of it. Candace had a smile that would light up a room. She could talk with anyone and acquaintances would soon become friends. Candace loved her family, especially the reunions at the Merrill School Forest. Candy always had a smile on her face and never complained. She was loved by all including her east coast cancer caregivers Audrey Ward, Ben and Barbara Eason and Mark Cantfill, aka “Magic Marker” and many others. She was also loved by her first friend in college Barb (Eiseth) Lindberg, who cared for her during her last weeks in hospice. Barb’s sister Linda leading an army of family, friends and neighbors supported Candy as well, and Mayo Hospice was an amazing source of comfort and care. Candace is survived by her mother Lois Brosowsky of Oak Creek WI, sister Gloria Kautzer of Madison WI, and brother Carter Brosowsky of Oak Creek, WI. She is also survived by loving aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. She was preceded in death by her father Glenn and brother Greg. A Memorial Service will be held at 7:00 p.m. Friday, Dec. 28, 2018 at the home of Barb Lindberg (323 Park Circle, Menomonie, WI 54751) with Pastor Dale Freberg officiating. There will be visitation from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at her home. Memorials are suggested to the Walker Chapel or to the family for medical expenses.
