Candace C. Brosnan

Candace C. Brosnan, of DuBois, Pennsylvania, passed away on March 17 in Pittsburgh. She was 72.

Born Candace Haydon Cozine in Ridgewood, New Jersey, she was the daughter of the late Theodore and Elizabeth Cozine. The family relocated to Swarthmore in 1963.

Candy was a graduate of Swarthmore High School. She earned a BA in Social Science from the University of Kentucky.

She met the love of her life, Michael S. Brosnan, at a wedding in 1969, and they were married a year later. They would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this year. Together they had two children, Michael S. Brosnan, who preceded her in death in 2008, and Kelly Brosnan Stringer (Craig) of DuBois.

Candy spent 35 years as a successful realtor working on the Main Line of Philadelphia. Upon retirement, she and Michael moved to Treasure Lake to be closer to their daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren. Candy enjoyed traveling, cooking, walking her dog Gertie, and spending time with family, especially her three grandchildren, Jack, Sean, and Maggie Stringer. She always had a smile on her face, and she had a generous spirit.

In addition to her husband, her daughter and son-in law, and her grandchildren, Candace is survived by her sister, Maryellen Cozine Raden, of Philadelphia, and her brother, Theodore Wilson Cozine, of Seattle, along with many loving extended family members, including nieces, nephews, brother- and sister-in-laws.

There will be no public visitation.

A celebration of Candy's life will take place in early summer.

The Baronick Funeral Home & Crematorium, Inc. is in charge of arrangements.
