In Memorium: Linda Candler

Linda Candler, wife of Brevard Music Center president John Candler, passed away on November 9, 2009, following a long illness.

Linda will be remembered for many things. To name a few: her warmth, her welcoming and encouraging spirit, her intense interest in all the people who studied, taught, and worked at Brevard.

A memorial service was held on November 15 at St. Philip's Episcopal Church in Brevard. Rev. Rob Field presided, and Peter Candler, Linda's brother-in-law, addressed the congregation. The number of attendees was too large to count.

The family requests that memorials may be sent to:

Brevard Music Center
P.O. Box 312
Brevard, NC 28712
