That’s how Palmater’s loved ones and colleagues are remembering her after her partner, Denise Tompkins, announced that she had died on Saturday at the age of 53. As her stardom grew, she hosted the “The Candy Palmater Show” on CBC Radio One and became a regular host on CTV’s The Social. “When I think of Candy, she was … larger than life, eternally sunny, endless kindness, and always led with joy,” Melissa Grelo, co-host of The Social, told CTV News. She really wanted to use her humour for good,” Myara told CTV News. “Every single day, when I walked into that hospital room, she just greeted me with her huge smile,” Lange said.
