Kandis Eileen Napier

Kandis Eileen Napier died in the early hours on the morning of November 27th after a long struggle with cancer.

Kandi was born April 25th, 1957 in Norwalk, California. She moved to Grants Pass in 1960 with her family: father Willard (Spud), mother Phyllis, and sister Deanna (Jonell) Napier, where she attended Grants Pass High School, graduating in 1975. Kandi lived in Grants Pass most of her life working in both the Retail and Food Service Industries.

Her grace and strength of spirit were apparent to all who attended to her in her latter days; and the family is thankful that her passing was both painless and peaceful, with her finding some comfort in her final days.

She is survived by her son Ryan Uribe of Grants Pass, her brother Dennis Napier of Laguna Beach California, her sister Jonell Benedetti of Grants Pass, and nephews Mark Smith of Rogue River, and Kirk Smith of Bainbridge Isle, Washington.

A private ceremony for the immediate family is planned to be held at a later date, when she will be interned within the family plot at Hawthorne Memorial Gardens. Hull & Hull Funeral Directors are in charge of arrangements.
