Candice L. Petersen, 39 of Volga, SD was welcomed into God's arms August 28, 2020 after a tragic automobile accident.
Candice was born December 5, 1980 in Lake Preston, SD to parents Timothy and Mary (Peterson) Petersen and was the oldest of 3 children. During her childhood she grew up on a farm north of Lake Preston and spent much of her time babysitting for families in the area. She graduated from Lake Preston High School in 1999 and then went on to attend Lake Area Technical in Watertown, SD.
Candice was a loving mother who dedicated her life to her children, her daycare "babies" and her family. She loved taking care of others and has touched many lives through her daycare for almost 20 years. She was an active member of the First Lutheran Church in Volga SD and was often found volunteering for the Sinai Volunteer Fire Department. She enjoyed life and cherished time with family and friends. She was always active in the community and with the kids' school activities and enjoyed snowmobiling in the Black Hills. And even recently she enjoyed being on the farm, tending cattle and helping Scott in the hog barns.
