She was the oldest of eight children and was like a second mother to her younger sibilings. On September 21, 1968, Candy married Ralph Roginski Jr. at Our Lady Queen of Heaven Catholic church in Wisconsin Rapids. They were blessed with 48 years of marriage and three children. She was a loving, kind, and gentle soul. Candy enjoyed nothing more than taking care of and helping others. She provided at-home health care and cherished the bonds she formed with her patients. Candy was proud to have served as the Vice President of the Association for All Handicapped Citizens. She was also a member of the St. Ann’s Group 8 PCCW at Our Lady Queen of Heaven for 20 years. Candy’s loving touch and easy laugh will be dearly missed, along with her great cooking, especially her cakes and German potato salad. Candy is survived by her loving husband, Ralph Jr.; children: Randy (Laura) Roginski, Mark Roginski, and Missy (Jeremy) Froehle. She was also blessed with four grandchildren: Christopher (Miranda) Roginski, Ryan Beck, Garrett Froehle, and Ella Froehle; along with a great-grandson, Easton Roginski. She is further survived by her siblings: Rick Reinwand, Jeri (Peter) Kopecko, Steve (Sandy) Reinwand, Petti (John) Reichert, Jodi (Pat) Sullivan, and Lisa (Ken) Alft. As well as many nieces and nephews. Candy was preceded in death by her parents, Marvin and Rae Jean Reinwand; her sister, Melissa Reinwand; and nephew, Matthew Kurz.
