On May 30, 1946 Candy Lightner was born to the parents of Dykes Charles Dodderidge and Katherine Dodderidge. The Dodderidges also had another daughter named Cathy. At the time the family was living in Pasadena, California and both of her parents had jobs in the U.S air force. Her father, Charles Dodderidge was a career serviceman to the U.S. air force and her mom, Katherine Dodderidge, was an exchange system employee. Growing up under th
e strict control of her U.S. air force parents, Candy graduated from high school in 1964. After high school Candy went on to attend the American River College in Sacramento. To the right is a picture of the state of California, and to the left is a picture of the sign of her college she attended.During her years at the American River College, Candy met her future husband, Stev
e Lightner. Like her father, Steve was a U.S Air Force serviceman. They married soon after meeting and had three children throughout their marriage. In 1967 their first two children, twin girls, were born. They named the twin girls Cari and Serena. A few years later the couple gave birth to a son, whom they named Travis. After many rough years of arguing and disagreeing on everything, the couple divorced. Feeling alone, Candy moved to Fair Oaks, California and supported her self by entering the real estate business. Things in Candy's life were going well for her and the real estate business was flourishing. While Candy was busy supporting herself and the children, Steve remarried extremely quickly coincidentally to another woman named Candy. Candy Lightner wrote in her book that she did not meet Steve's new wife until after Cari's death when Steve and his wife attended the funeral. Above is a picture of the Air Force department symbol.
