CARLSON, NANCY L. (SCHLIMM)
Iron Mountain, MI

Nancy L. (Schlimm) Carlson, age 64, passed away on Monday morning, July 27, 2009. Her death, attended by her family, occurred at St. Vincent Hospital, Green Bay, WI.

Nancy was born November 18, 1944, daughter of Clarence and Mary (Appleton) Schlimm. She was a graduate of St. Nicholas Elementary School and Freedom High School, Freedom, WI, also, having graduated from Green Bay College of Cosmetology and was employed in Wisconsin and Michigan salons. In later years, Nancy operated The Hollywood Supper Club in Florence, WI and later employed at Pine Mountain Resort Restaurant and CJ Graphics in Kingsford, MI.

Nancy was a member of St. Mary and St. Joseph parish in Iron Mountain. She proudly and lovingly raised her granddaughter Dominique Berniqua Harris. Dominique is a student at Bishop Baraga Catholic School in Iron Mountain. Dominique describes "My Nana" as "the best in the world". They cared for each other for ten years. Nancy remains in our collective memory for her strong work ethic, her laugh and the grin we teased her about. She was a spirited sports fan and appreciative of family vacations at Lac du Lune. We love her and we miss her.

Nancy is survived by her children: Cristian (Misty) Carlson, Bull Head City, AZ; Marisa Carlson, St. Paul, MN; and granddaughter Dominique Harris.
