Corvallis Gazette-Times from Corvallis, Oregon • 4

Friday. Corvallis August 12, Gazette-Times, 2011 Corvallis, Ore. www.gazettetimes.com OBITUARIES in 1975, Candy continued to innovate in the creation of the Eugene Energy Bank, one of Oregon's first business-to-business barter exchanges. Candy entered the art scene with driving passion and vision through her volunteer work at Maude Kerns Arts Center, establishing the Rental Sales Gallery and the Arts Exhibition Program. While at Maude's, she organized the First Friday Art Walk and produced the first Art in the Vineyard event, now its 28th year.

In 1987, Candy opened the Alder Art Gallery in downtown Eugene, with the mission to promote the Pacific Northwest's finest contemporary artists. The gallery later moved to historic Coburg. Candy worked closely with local business, promoting her artists' work for sale and exhibition. The two most notable annual events established through Alder Art were the Chocolate Challenge and La Petite, a national juried exhibition. In the many activities Candy founded and organized, exposure to art and artists, ing and nonprofit fundraising were always her goals.

After receiving her certification from the International Society of Appraisers, Candy served clients throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond. In 2008, Candy transitioned her focus from the gallery to her business of art and antique appraisal. One of her most celebrated appraisals included Ken Kesey's bus, Candy was a leader in many professional and arts organizations, a 20-year member of the Professional Women's Network of Oregon, and of the Emerald Executive Association as well. EEA Executive Director Lindy Moore, remembers Candy as "one of the pioneering women in what had been mostly a men's club; she was a singular force of nature." Candy's community and civic commitments were colorful and diverse, from her food booth, The Function at the Junction, during the beginning years of the Oregon Country Fair, to support for Jewish campus life at the University of Oregon through the Hillel Foundation. Most prominently, Candy was instrumental in the successes of the Eugene Glass School, founded in 1999.

The Glass School, a nonprofit institution, is dedicated to quality instruction for emerging and professional glass artists. Candy served on the school's first Board of Directors, with boundless enthusiasm, coordinating many fundraising events, and thriving on its energy. Candy was a driving force in establishing the school's educational programs, including classes for at- -risk youth through the Network Charter School of Lane County. In 2010, the Glass School dedicated its alternative high school program to honor Candy for her tireless efforts to support its education mission. The program is now known as the Candy AIR CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT SERVICE 610 S.W.

As the longtime founder and owner of Alder Art Gallery until Moffett 2008, and tireless volunteer for local arts organizations, Candy was instrumental in sustaining and initiating some of the community's most valued artistic and cultural institutions. "She was more devoted to the artists than to the commerce of art," according to Sarkis Antikajian, a Eugene painter long represented by Candy.

"She was a great lady." Candace Hope Seber was born on Aug. 20, 1949, in Newark, N.J., to Edith and Bernet Seber. She was raised in New Jersey, attended college in Arizona, and moved to Oregon in 1969 with her future husband, Tom Moffett. They were married on April 12, 1970, in Summit. Initially settling in Philomath, Candy participated in the startup of the first two of a series of businesses she helped established during her dynamic career: Corvallis' First Alternative Natural Foods Co-op, where she managed the tea, coffee and spices department; and then Grass Roots Books Music, both of which remain vital landmarks in Corvallis.

After moving to Eugene Moffett Network Charter School Program. Knowing Candy Moffett was no ordinary experience. It was akin to know- ing a tornado. She pursued every endeavor with passion, determination and moxie. Her belief in the importance of art in our lives and respect for artists was unfailing.

Candy's mission was to make art accessible to everyone in their everyday lives, and to promote the arts as integral to every part of the community. She especially thrived on supporting the creative endeavors of emerging artists. With her unbridled enthusiasm and boundless energy, Candy's life and home were always filled to the brim with creative energy, laughter and fun. Together with her devotion to family and friends, she was a remarkable spirit who will be missed far and wide. Happy trails, Candy! In addition to her husband, Tom, Candy is sur vived by her sons, Aaron Moffett of Corvallis and Brad Moffett of Eugene; her brother, David Seber of Eugene; and mother, Edith Seber of Del Ray Beach, Fla.

The family wishes to express its gratitude to the many friends and volunteers who supported and assisted Candy and her family during her illness. The endless flow of meals, chocolate, visits and other expressions of love and caring are deeply appreciated. A celebration of Candy's life will take place at 3 p.m. Aug. 25 in the White Oak Pavilion at Mount Pisgah Arboretum in Eugene.
