Candy Lee (Nash) Solomon, 62

Candy Lee (Nash) Solomon of Florence, Ariz. died Saturday, January 5, 2013, at home after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.

Born in Cascade, Idaho, on May 13, 1950, to John and Jewell Crutcher, she later moved to Post Falls, Idaho, and later to Florence. She attended college and worked in the mortgage loan field.

She had a head for business; not the glamour of it, but for getting things done. A boss at one of the banks she worked for once said, “Candy almost always gets it right, and when she doesn’t she stays until she does.” That was the way she lived her life; always “getting it done” and always thinking of others.

She loved to golf and travel, and she loved the sun. She chose to live out her days in Arizona on a golf course because of the sun and because earlier it meant traveling from the cold of northern Idaho to the warmth of sunny Arizona.

She is survived by her husband, Benney of Florence, Ariz; her son, Shawn Nash and grandson Jericho Spink of Spokane, Wash.; daughter Tracy Nash and husband Kevin of Honolulu, Hawaii; brother John Crutcher and wife Priscilla of Bellevue, Wash.; brother Chris Crutcher and friend Carol Thomas of Spokane, Wash.; step-daughter Nicole Cook and her husband Paul, and grandsons Eli and Quin of Bismarck, N.D.; stepson Jerry Solomon and friend Meg of Los Angeles; brother- and- sister-in-laws CJ and Scott Wray, Vickey and Jack Burkhardt, Gloria Solomon, and Tammey Solomon; brother-in-law Rodger Solomon and wife Leanna; mother-in-law Betty Nash and too many friends and relatives to name.

She chose to have no funeral or memorial service.

Remembrances can be sent to Coeur d 'Alene Summer Theatre, PO Box 1119, Coeur d’Alene, ID 83816; or, Hospice of the Valley, 1510 E. Flower St., Phoenix, AZ 85014.
