Candace Claudette Cairo

Candace Claudette Cairo, San Mateo County resident since 1960, passed away peacefully in her home, surrounded by her family, on June 29, 2022. Candace was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2017. During those years, she was admitted in and out of the hospital, underwent treatment, and battled on and off with complications from her Leukemia diagnosis. She did so with grace, determination, and a will that brought her family such joy and peace. Because of this and Candace’s strong Greek Orthodox faith, she lived with strength, surrounded by her loving husband Kimon Cairo, son Anthony Cairo, daughter Natalie Arndt, son-in-law John Arndt, and the greatest gift of all, those who called her Yiayia- Gianna Arndt (3), Sophia Arndt (Due September 2022), Brody Wilson (9), Colton Graf (7), Miles Graf (5), Dylan Graf (3), & baby Reece (2 mo).

Candace was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan of the late William & Verlyne Wilson. She was also the dear sister of the late Dale Wilson, loving father of Matt Wilson (Stacey Wilson) & Mary Wilson (Dan Graf). She is survived by her caring sisters Tammy Astells (Craig Astells) and Kim Weaver (Stan Weaver) along with her loving nieces, nephews, cousins, and sisters-in-law, Annette Welsh (Doss Welsh) and Michelle Brady (Chris Brady). Candace also survived by her loyal companion, Rocky, who stayed devotedly by her side throughout the past 12 years and during her treatments.
