Even though both Carsons grew up in Detroit, they didn't meet until they were students at Yale. Candy majored in music, psychology and pre-med, then married Ben and supported him through his residencies and various positions. She even moved to Australia with her husband when she was five months pregnant and still managed to get an MBA from Johns Hopkins Carey Business School. The couple have been married nearly 45 years and have three sons and several grandchildren (via Your Tango).
An accomplished concert violinist, singer, bestselling author, triple major at Yale University, and head of the Carson Scholars Fund program, which offers scholarship money to high schoolers for a proven commitment to academia and community, Candy has a whole lot to brag about — but that just doesn't seem to be her style (via Heavy). So, we'll do it for her.
