Bill, Tommy, Laura, Jason and family,
What can I…. The world just got a little quieter, a little less happier and my heart is missing a piece. Forever Aunt Keek… she was the keeper of the Grover stuffie I dreamed of being mine as a kid but always kept it for me when I visited. Her laughter was infectious and her wit was unmatched with her quips and smart remarks that were all from the big heart she had. She was the safe haven growing up, the one you turned to when life was icky because her love was overflowing and never judging. She always welcomed you with open arms and made sure you were full when you left. I spent my summers at her place in Fredericton like it was my second home. She sat me on her lap and let me drive out Gram and Grampie’s driveway , always saying in my ear “don’t tell your mother”. Keek introduced me to music like the BeeGees, Dr. Hook and so many more. As I got older, visits we spent at the Legion, and Lions club with Jacqueline and I hanging out with her and enjoying every minute and every word as she told stories and made jokes. We never felt like we were her nieces, but like her children. She definitely was the coolest aunt to me. I remember she made a colourful granny square blanket and I asked her if she made it and she said yes…. To this day granny squares are my favourite thing to crochet. She was always awesome at everything she did. She once gave me a tiger made on the dot matrix printer at her work (NB Power) it was made of ‘1s and 0s… I thought it was the best thing I ever received. Keek made life so much more. Keek made you smile when you were sad and laugh harder than ever when you were at your happiest. She was the BEST of the best there was ever. She gave the biggest and heftiest bear hug and never wanted to let go. She always kept a place for us. We always felt welcome and loved. Thanks for being there Keek. Thanks for your love & support and your infectious smile and contagious laughter. I cherish these memories and am happy to have had the greatest Aunt in the world! Keek shaped me into the strong, hardworking and independent woman I am today.
Miss you and love you always.
Angela, Nunzio, Breanna & Sebastian Scrofano

Bill, Laura, Tommy, Jason, grandchildren and fur babies, I was so shocked to learn that Candy had passed away. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May your many memories of Candy provide you some comfort during this difficult time.
To me, Candy will forever and always be Keek. Keek had the kind of presence that filled a room without taking it over. She had a great laugh, a sharp wit, and this calm, comforting way about her that made you feel safe and seen.
Growing up, she was the cool aunt. The one with the Firebird, the best music, the door always open, and the house where the party didn’t really end until morning.
She used to pay me a quarter to draw letters on her back when I was little—my first “massage client.” Later, when I became a registered massage therapist, she’d laugh and say, “So, do I still get the family rate? A quarter, right?”
For a while she lived in the one-room house at the end of Gram and Grampie’s driveway and would let us sleepover. I remember she had a cat that would eat the ankles off her when she would walk across the floor. She had us over for sleepovers at her apartment in Forest Hill and would take us to the wading pool. She always hosted the best sleepovers.
Keek loved her kids with her whole heart. That was never in question. Life wasn’t always easy for her —but she always made sure the people she loved felt loved. Her kind of love was quiet, fierce, and loyal. It showed up in rides, meals, hugs, phone calls, and late-night talks. It showed up in how she held space for people. And it showed up, too, in how she always made room for joy and adventure.
Some of my most vivid memories are of nights that Angela and I spent with Keek at the Legion and Lions Club at the dances in Boiestown. Keek would always save us a seat and tell us the life story of every single person in the room if we asked “who is that?”. Her laughter could lift your whole mood. When you were out with Keek, you belonged. She made sure of it. We had met almost everyone in Boiestown after a few nights out with Keek.
We used to send emails and forward those “about you quizzes” and one of my favourite responses she ever sent was when I asked her what her favourite sport to watch on TV was and her response was “it’s on CMT, Kenny Chesney jogging up the sandy beach”. Me too Keek, me too.
She had that same spirit of welcome with Serguei. When he came to New Brunswick for training at Base Gagetown, Keek didn’t hesitate. She picked him up on the weekend and made sure he had the full Keek experience—rides through town, stories over meals at Mama’s Pub and Ringos where she seemed to also know everyone. Serguei came back from those outings full of stories I hadn’t even heard. That was her magic—she could make anyone feel like family.
Keek always carried herself with a quiet resilience that stuck with me, despite what she faced. Some of the deepest, most grounding moments I shared with Keek came during times of grief. I’ll never forget sitting beside her and Aunt Neen at Great-Gram’s visitation, all of us crying, holding each other, and even laughing through the pain. They joked back then that they’d save us a spot at the next visitation. The next time, it was Aunt Neen. And now… it’s Keek. That emptiness hits hard. It feels like no one’s left holding our spot. But maybe—just maybe—she’s holding one for us somewhere else now. A seat at the table in heaven. Probably near the music. Probably on the dance floor. Probably with a drink in hand, telling stories and keeping people company, like always. I’m betting she’s got a full table surrounding her and Terry, Tracy, Danny, Gram, and Grampie and Great Gram and Aunt Neen were just some of the first to greet her as she entered the pearly gates.
I will never forget how Keek could fall asleep anywhere—often mid-conversation. She’d ask you a question and be asleep within seconds before you could reply. We would all know she was out by the sound of her snores, even though she’d deny it later. That, too, was her: cozy, familiar, human. She wasn’t trying to be perfect. She was just trying to love us all the best she could.
So thank you, Keek. For being a big part of my childhood. For the Firebird rides. The music. The dancing and nights out. The sleepovers. The quarters for the back massages. The time with Serguei. The hugs. The stories. The laughter. And for making sure we always had a seat—at the table, in the car, on the dance floor, in your heart.
We love you. We miss you. Thanks for always holding a place for us.
Love, Jacqueline, Serguei and Sophia Kabanov

We were shocked and saddened to hear of Candy's death. She was a great little sister with her curly red hair. Mum used to give us both perms in the winter so our hair was extra, extra curly all winter long. We looked like little orphan Annie!! Dad and Candy had a lot of fun teasing each other! Candy was a sweetheart-- she was kind, thoughtful, and considerate of others, a great friend, and an amazing sister!!! Candy was a hard worker and always thought of family and friends first. We will miss her!!! Love: Gene and Nancy xo

When i first moved back to White Head a few yrs ago , my sister Sheila and I were out for a drive and we were going to go out to Long Point, but we could see a 4 wheeler on tbe road coming our way so we waited. When it got closer, it stopped for a few minutes and just sat there. We were like "hurry up and get moving so we can use the road" lol After a bit it started coming along and when they got closer i could see 2 women on the bike and they were laughing..it was Candy and Heather Woodworth. The pulled up beside us just busting a gut because they thought we were the police! Hahaha They were ready to turn around and go back the other way lol we had such a great laugh over that. Mum (Leah Trecartin) thought the world of Candy too and loved going over for a vist and coffee with her and Billy. Her laughter and great sense of humor will sorely be missed. Sheila and I both send our sympathies to all of the family. RIP Candy <3
