Carol Bendickson, age 69 of Winona, passed away peacefully on Saturday, January 10, 2026, at Emplify Health in La Crosse, WI.
Carol will be deeply missed by those who loved her. She had a quiet presence and a gentle heart, and she showed her care for others in simple, meaningful ways. She was someone who appreciated life as it came and found comfort in familiar routines, family connections, and the people closest to her. To those who knew her best, Carol was a steady and loving presence, and she will be remembered for her kindness and the love she had for her family, especially her grandchildren.
Carol is survived by her children, Tony, Roger, Priscilla (Chris), Mark, and Sabrena; grandchildren, Rebecca, Jonathan, Blake, Dylan, Alisa, Katelynn, Andrea, Maya, Livia, Georgia, Aria, David Jr., and Dale; and sisters, Tina, Diane, Lois, and Bonnie.
She was preceded in death by her mom, Lucille.
Private family services will be held at a later date.
Hoff Celebration of Life Center is assisting the family.
