Andrea Candelaria Obituary

Andrea Catherine Candelaria passed away suddenly November 18, 2020. She was born September 5, 1980, to Robert & Jackie Candelaria. Andrea "Boots" was the happiest when outdoors; her favorite hike was Ice Lakes and all the local 14ers. She fell in love with Alaska and enjoyed hiking & fishing there. She will be remembered by her friends and family as a strong, loving, young woman with a beautiful personality, great sense of humor and an infectious smile. She is survived by her parents Robert & Jackie Candelaria, of Durango; brother Jeff and his wife Sara; nephew Dillon; nieces Ella & Lyrie, of St. Mary's, GA; brother Daniel and his wife Jessica, of Denver. A celebration of life will be held at a later time. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to La Plata County Humane Society, 111 S. Camino Del Rio, Durango, CO 81303; https://lpchumanesociety.org/how-you-can-help/give/

Jackie and Robert,
Throughout my years I have had the honor and privilege of knowing only a few people who could be considered to be a" bright light in a world of darkness".
Andrea was one of those persons, but she has moved on and left us her light so that we can better see our way.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
