Martha M. "Candy" Christman left this world peacefully to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on March 18, 2021.

Candy was born October 20, 1946 in Cleveland, Ohio to the late Donald C. H. and Roberta (Seeds) Christman. Candy graduated Silver Lake Elementary School in 1960 and graduated Cuyahoga Falls High School, Class of 1964. Candy enjoyed a long career as a flight attendant with Eastern Airlines, based in Miami, Florida. She traveled worldwide and loved greeting people with her beautiful smile and warm personality, as she lovingly served and cared for her passengers. A career highlight for several years was working the Doral Open PGA Tour, sponsored by Eastern Airlines.
