Candelaria Davila, 80, of China, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, passed away on September 27, 2022 with her family by her side. Candelaria was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. An entrepreneur at heart, she created beautiful gowns and was known for making brides' dreams come true.

Before becoming a seamstress, Candelaria was a teacher in Monterrey, Mexico. She was loved by  her students and known for always encouraging them to do their best. La Profesora Cande is still fondly remembered by her students.

Candelaria will always be remembered for her sense of humor and love of telling stories. Anyone who knew her knew she had a big heart and a contagious smile. Without knowing it, she was always the life of the party.

Candelaria is survived by her husband of 53 years, Guillermo Davila; her children Lorena (Daniel Gasca), Edgar (Rosemary) and Karla (Roberto Martinez); and her grandchildren Gabriela, Natalia, Andres and Julian.
