BROWN, Candice Leigh, 33, of Tucson, passed away at home on Friday, November 22, 1996, after a determined and spirited dance with a rare form of kidney cancer. She died as she lived–with extraordinary grace, courage, strength, and dignity. A remarkably and diversely talented dancer, novelist, and teacher, she inspired and enriched us with her physical eloquence, her passionate artistry, her emotional honesty, and her mercurial intellect. To every member of her family and to each of her friends, students, colleagues, and readers, she will always be a beautiful and precious gift, a treasure of the heart we carry with us everywhere. When her partner was life, you could not tell the dancer from the dance; when her partner was death, she turned and turned until there was nowhere left to turn–and then she cracked the ceiling with her leap. She is survived by her devoted husband, Bill Epstein of Tucson; her beloved mother, Mae Maxine Brown and her mother’s faithful companion, Frank Nassoiy, both of Tucson; her two loving stepdaughters, Jessica Epstein of Flagstaff and Rebecca Epstein of Tucson and Hamilton, NY; her cherished in-laws, Judith and Albert Grollman of Rockville, MD and Elena and Benjamin Epstein of Washington, DC; and her two wonderful fat cats, Rio and Huck, also of Tucson.
