Buending, Candis B. (Carlson) of St. Louis Park, took her last breath on March 19, 2018, at the N. C. Little Memorial Hospice, after a short conversation with pancreatic cancer. She was preceded in death by her parents Kenneth & Carol Carlson (Bjorklund) and her brother Mark Carlson. She is survived by the love of her life, David Buending and her brother Grant Carlson (Patricia). Candy also leaves behind numerous cousins and life long friends. She traveled a lot because home was so nice to come back to; read a lot, laughed a lot and loved a lot because too much of a good thing is never bad; loved her husband, cats, learning, and photography, in some semblance of that order; had a list and it rhymed with bucket; had a love/hate relationship with her garden. Candy's family would like to thank the staff at N. C. Little Hospice for the care and comfort they gave Candy during her final days. A Celebration of Candy's Life will be held at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Minnetonka, 2030 Wayzata Blvd. East, Wayzata, on April 28, 2018 at 2:00PM. In lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial to the N. C. Little Memorial Hospice, or a charity of your choice.
