Candi Dee Colegrove

Candi Dee Colegrove-Tracy, born November 2, 1961, passed away May 3, 2019 at her home in Hoopa, surrounded by family and friends.

Candi was born in Hoopa and was a proud member of the Hoopa Valley Tribe. She attended school at Fredrick and Charles and was a beautician by trade. She worked at Child Development, Hoopa Health Association and attended College of the Redwoods. She loved watching the Food Network, keeping her nails pristine, and visiting with family and friends. She had a superb sense of style, smelt like a million bucks and was always cuddled up with a big fluffy blanket. She was known as an outstanding cook, especially when it came to her lasagna and spaghetti. Candi looked forward to attending her Tribe’s traditional dances every year and making regalia.
