CHICHESTER- Mrs. Candee J. Frost, 47, of Chichester, passed away
peacefully surrounded by her loving family on April 23, 2017 after a
brief battle with cancer.
Born in Rochester, Candee was the
daughter of Brenda (Rainaud) Smith of Barnstead and the late Joseph
Smith. She was raised and educated in Amherst and later moved
to Barnstead before finally settling in Chichester where she resided
for the past 31 years with her loving husband.
Prior to her
illness, Candee had been employed as an office worker for Globe

She enjoyed camping and fishing, but above all, cherished the time
spent with her children and grandchildren.
In addition to her

She is survived by her husband of nearly 26 years, Richard S. Frost;
two children, Richard S. Frost, Jr. and Brittany L. Frost; one
sister, Joy Couch of Epsom; and her three grandchildren, Carlee,
