Candice Ingle Lane

Candice “Candy” Ingle Lane, 62, of Cary, died Saturday, July 30, 2022 at her home surrounded by loved ones. Born on June 23, 1960 to Ron Ingle and Ann St. Clair, Candy was known for her smile that lit up the room, her contagious spirit, and her love for others, in particular her family. Candy was the second born of four and known for loving life, her passion for swimming on the Lakemont swim team and anything that involved sports. She graduated from Millbrook High school and went on to study software programming at Wake Technical Community College. She spent her entire 38 year career at IBM in North Carolina. A mutual friend introduced Candy and Scott, and they were married on April 24, 1993. Her love for Scott was unmatched and their unwavering commitment, steadfast compassion and heart of service for each other was evident up until Candy’s last moments on earth. Candy was an adoring mother who loved her girls unwaveringly. Samantha (Sami) and Natalia (Tali) were truly her greatest gifts. She beamed with pride at tae kwon do, softball games, dance recitals, and school functions. Candy was easy to talk to and made sure Sami and Tali knew the depths of her love for them and her desire to support them and their endeavors. Candy was an athlete at heart. An incredible softball player, a black belt tae kwon do instructor, a regular at the YMCA, a participant in the Livestrong program, and loved tennis and pickleball. In her free time, Candy loved to volunteer and support causes she cared about including, but not limited to, causes benefiting cancer research and volunteering with the children’s ministry at Crosspointe Church. To have known Candy is to have been loved by her. Whether you met her at the gym, work, the martial arts academy, church or the neighborhood, Candy’s warm smile, fierce love, and endless optimism drew you in and you were never the same. She always had a word of encouragement, keen intellect and was the most loyal and compassionate of friends. None of us will forget her smile that lit up the room or the heart that was behind it. Preceding Candy in death are her grandparents: Joel Ingle, Minnie Ingle, Duncan St. Clair and Amelia St. Clair. Candy leaves behind her husband, Scott Lane; her daughters Sami and Tali; her parents Ron (Laura) Ingle of Raleigh and Ann St. Clair of Raleigh; and siblings Tammy (Frankie) Morrell, Kim (Tony) Cafazo and Scott Ingle. A memorial service to honor Candy will be held at 5pm on Saturday, August 6, 2022 at Crosspointe Church in Cary, North Carolina. The care of Candy has been entrusted to Wake Memorial Park in Cary, North Carolina. In lieu of flowers, the family invites memorial donations be made to the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation in Candy’s name. Candy had recruited a team to participate in the Gail Perkins Memorial Ovarian Cancer Walk and Run in September and friends are invited to walk and donate in her honor together. We will be collecting memories and stories about Candy at her memorial service. Feel free to bring one you’ve written ahead of time or take time to write one at the tables provided. Her family thanks all of those who have loved, stood by and supported all of them throughout the many years of her cancer battle and especially in recent weeks as they grieve the loss of a remarkable wife, mom, daughter and friend.
