In Loving Memory of Candice J 'Candy' Cullen: A Life Filled with Love and Laughter

Serenity Funeral Home mourns the loss of a truly extraordinary individual, Candice J 'Candy' Cullen, who passed away on May 25, 2023, at the age of 73. Candy was a shining light in the lives of everyone she touched, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and compassion.

Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Robert (George) and Orpa (Nikki) (Glenzke) Jones, Candy grew up with a passion for life and a desire to make memories. Her calendar was always full of parties, brunches, lunches, dinners, and games with family and friends. She had an incredible ability to strike up conversations with anyone and instantly become their friend.

Candy was an active member of Jerusalem Presbyterian church and dedicated much of her time to the Kettle Moraine food pantry and other church-related functions. Her compassion and empathy knew no bounds, always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. Her strong will and determination inspired everyone around her, including her family, friends, and community.

Candy's love for travel took her on many adventures with her family, creating lasting memories that will be cherished forever. One of her most memorable trips was to Ireland with her daughter and son-in-law last August, where she finally fulfilled her dream of kissing the Blarney stone.

As a devoted mother to Kimberly (Eric) Heine, loving sister to Sandra (William) Wagner, and grandmother to Aiden and Aynsley Heine, Candy's family was her top priority. She was also a dedicated aunt to Nicholas Wagner and cherished many other relatives and friends.

Candy's 27-year career as a Para Professional at Wales Elementary School showcased her dedication to education and the importance of building strong relationships with children. Her legacy will live on through the countless lives she touched, inspiring others to follow in her footsteps.

Throughout her life, Candy's mantra was 'Squeeze your elbows,' a tradition passed down from her mother. Whenever someone would hang up the phone after speaking with her, she would lovingly say these words, symbolizing her unwavering support and love for those around her. As we remember Candice J 'Candy' Cullen, we are reminded of her infectious smile, her contagious laughter, and her boundless compassion.

Rest in peace, Candy. Your memory will be treasured by all who knew you, and your spirit will continue to inspire us to live life to the fullest.
