Candi Kay Palomares

January 10, 1961 – April 5, 2026

Candi Kay Palomares, 65, passed away peacefully on Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026, in Brookings, Oregon. Her passing on a day of renewal and hope serves as a beautiful tribute to a woman who brought so much light to those around her.

Born in Los Angeles, California, on January 10, 1961, Candi eventually found her way to the coast of Brookings, where she spent her final years. She was a woman who found deep contentment in life's simple pleasures. Whether she was savoring a perfect cup of coffee in the morning, enjoying a slice of pizza, or indulging in her favorite chocolate, Candi knew how to appreciate the moment. She was a dedicated professional who took great pride in her work, and in her downtime, she loved nothing more than settling in with her favorite shows or watching a coastal sunset.

Above all, Candi's heart belonged to her family. She was the devoted wife of Richard Palomares and a loving mother who took immense pride in her daughters. Her legacy lives on through the many generations she adored; her ten grandchildren and four great-grandchildren were the light of her life.

Candi is survived by her beloved husband, Richard Palomares; her daughters, Wendy Andrade, Kristy Fillian, and Shawna Wolf; her cherished grandchildren, Angel, Harley, Delilah, Julie, Christina, Toni, Bree, Lily Rose, Loki, and Makayla; and her great-grandchildren, Wyatt, Colson, Ryker, and Asher. She also leaves behind her dear siblings, Bud Bales, Paul Bales, and Kelly Kaylor, along with a close circle of friends who were like family to her.

She was a steady, loving presence whose warmth will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Memorial Service Details: A memorial service will be held on May 9, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. For those who would like to attend and honor Candi's life, please contact Wendy Andrade at 541-254-1125 for further information.
