Dr. Candace Nayman is remembered as someone who loved helping others — and who hated olives.
Dr. Candace Nayman was a third year pediatrics resident at McMaster Children's Hospital.
At her funeral, held Thursday at Toronto's Benjamin's Park Memorial Chapel, her siblings Lauren and Maurice described Candace as someone who loved children, often gave blood and had proudly signed up as an organ donor.Three women will receive their sister's liver, kidneys and pancreas, while a man will receive her lungs.
"Candace loves hot dogs and hates olives," said Lauren, who is Candace's twin. "She loves hot dogs so much she dressed up as one for Halloween for several consecutive years and has favourite stands around the city. She hates olives so much that she refused to eat anything that had olives on it, even if they had been removed."The news has shaken the community at McMaster Children's Hospital, where Candace was a third year resident.
"She was dedicated to her craft as a pediatrician, mentoring some of her best friends in medical school and undergrad in choosing the specialty, and taking on a wide range of electives in her time in residency," read the donation site.
