Candece Hadley

NAME: Candece

AT WORK

Candece is an Account Executive. Many would say she is the reason why Vanilla wrote that lyric in his classic song “Ice Ice Baby”. You know the line: “If there is a problem, yo I’ll solve it, Check out the hook, while my DJ revolves it.” So, mostly the part of solving problems. She doesn’t have or need her own DJ; her life is a soundtrack. Being creative and taking a concept or thought and turning it into something amazing is truly the greatest part of her job, and it keeps her from pressing that “snooze” button each day.

AT HOME

She is fairly modest and humble, but if cornered she will tell you her greatest accomplishment is her family and her 4 grandbabies… Amazing for only being a 29 1/2 year old grandma right?!

Candece spends nearly every minute of her day doing something. Seriously, she has no idea how to sit still; try flying with her. She is a HUGE fan of Country music and loves her some Keith Urban… and has no problem traveling to see him if he can’t make it to Utah.

FUN FACTS

Some fun facts about Candece: She really hates to be scared or embarrassed. She has been compared to Tommy Boy in that her heart is sometimes bigger than her brains, which, when you think about it, is pretty incredible. Candece has to show up to the airport at least two hours prior to her flight. She likes to call it being early; others classify it as travelers’ anxiety. One of her greatest accomplishments is that she is a MoM (Mom of a Marine). Her oldest is currently serving as a United States Marine; he is also referred to as “the bug collector” in the story below. 

BONUS

It’s important to remember the fact above about disliking feeling embarrassed, but here is a great story to help you understand how fun and crazy the dynamics of her kids are. On her wedding day to the love of her life (and oftentimes her other child) each of her 3 children (at that time) had to make sure they left their mark. One refused to see any fun in it and slept on the front row; another chose to not walk down the aisle because they were not allowed to carry Mom’s big bouquet; and the third was found underneath the stage collecting bugs that would later be released, unknowingly, in the honeymoon hotel room. Best to sum it all up with “never a dull moment”.
