Dr. Candice Jennifer Costa, of Jamaica Plain, MA, passed away March 24, 2014 surrounded by her wife and family. Ms. Costa, 40, was a Doctor of Audiology at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Jamaica Plain, where she cared for our country’s veterans.
Beloved wife of Stephanie Hunt. Daughter of Dennis Costa and the late Sharon. Her aunt Maureen Morris. Father-in-law John Hunt and his wife Carrie. Her brothers and sisters in-law David and Chryseis Hunt and their daughter Kearin, James and Heather Weaver and their daughter Sarah. A longtime member of the Jamaica Plain community, Candice will be missed by hundreds of loving friends.
She received her undergraduate degree at Bridgewater State University and went on to complete her Master’s degree and then Doctorate of Audiology at Northeastern University (NU).
Candice was a researcher and clinical supervisor at NU prior to working at the VA. Through her career she mentored and taught a number of students. She also enjoyed being an active member in American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA) serving on national boards.
Candice enjoyed playing flag football, pool, and kickball with her many friends. Naturally athletic, Candice loved running, biking, kayaking, and hiking with her wife, Stephanie. Together they travelled extensively in the US and abroad to many beautiful places.
More than anything, Candice enjoyed spending time with her family and especially with her 2 nieces, Kearin and Sarah. Aunt Candice loved her nieces and was overjoyed to watch them laugh and play, and grow into beautiful girls.
A consummate joke-teller, Candice was a master of crafting clever jokes and puns that made everyone around her laugh out loud. She lit up every room she entered with joy and happiness.
