Candace Wojahn was a kind passionate woman who grew up in the Waupun area. At an early age she learned how to swim at the Fond du Lac County Park pool, and enjoyed it very much. She also loved music, theater, dolphins and children. She worked at the Waupun Wee Care Facility and McDonald’s. She volunteered her time at the Union Congregational Church, helping with Sunday school and in the nursery. Candace also knew challenges having been diagnosed with epilepsy as a teen, and later as a single mother of three daughters. Candace passed away in 2007 due to an epileptic episode. It is in her memory and spirit this program was created.

In honor and in memory of Candace, the Candace Wojahn Endowment Fund has been created. This was established by Keith & Carla Wojahn, with the help and support from Candace’s siblings Tabitha Bossenbroek and Benjamin Wojahn, along with Candace’s daughters Alia and Alyssa Hutchison, and Jorden Wojahn.
