Candice Christine Zerr Obituary (2023)

We are sad to announce that Candice Christine Zerr, of Yakima, Washington, passed away on June 24, 2023, at the age of 57. Candi was born in Yakima, to Ronald and Charlotte Zerr, on March 21, 1966. Candi graduated from West Valley High school in Yakima, Wa in 1984. She served as class speaker at her graduation. Later on, Candi went to work at the Yakima and Selah libraries where she was a librarian for 21 years. She had many young fans of her story time, and she loved reading to the kids. An avid animal lover, Candi had a heart for many kinds of pets throughout her life. Sometimes, venturing into her room was like visiting a small zoo. Candi, a proud mother, is survived by her son, Payton Stark. She never thought she could have children, so Payton was a big surprise and Candis pride and joy. She is also survived by her sisters, Kimberly Ottem and Tamara Lyon, a brother, Ronald Zerr, Jr., and several nieces and nephews. Her parents preceded her in death. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Details to be determined. Brookside Funeral Home is caring for the family. Memories and condolences may be shared at www.brooksidefuneral.com.
