Candy B. Krusa

January 11, 1950 - April 6, 2021

It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Candy B. Krusa of Greensboro, NC on April 6, 2021 at the age of 71 years. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Peter B. Krusa and her mother, Bobbie Duffie Brown. Candy is survived by and will be lovingly remembered by her dad, Merrill Brown (Martha); her son, Daniel Sullivan; her daughters, Jennifer Downing (Tim), Ashley Levesque (Nick), and 12 fabulous grandchildren. Candy Brown Krusa was born on January 11, 1950 in Greenville, South Carolina. Candy was valedictorian of her senior high school class. She was also a cheerleader and excellent basketball player. She graduated from Brenau College in 1972 and loved her ladies of Alpha Chi Omega. Candy loved all sports and especially loved Clemson football and UNC basketball. Candy married Peter who she would always call the love of her life. They spent many happy years on Belews Lake watching sunsets and entertaining. Candy and Peter first met at PBM Graphics where Candy spent the majority of her career. As HR Manager first in Durham and later in Greensboro, she always conducted herself professionally and with poise. She was a hard worker, conscientious and loyal and basically everything you would want in an HR Manager. A good listener and communicator, she counseled employees and was popular with them. She was loved by many for this caring nature. It was simply a pleasure to be around her. Candy was known as Nana and she loved spending time with her grandchildren. Candy was also blessed to have many close friends that she held near and dear during her later years living in Greensboro. A private service will be held at a later date.
