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

Nancy was born Nov. 18, 1944, daughter of Clarence and Mary (Appleton) Schlimm. She was a graduate of St. Nicholas Elementary School and Freedom High School, Freedom, Wis., 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, Wis. and later was employed at Pine Mountain Resort Restaurant and CJ Graphics in Kingsford.

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 10 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 of Bull Head City, Ariz.; Marisa Carlson of St. Paul, Minn.; her granddaughter, Dominique Harris; her siblings, Dorothy Schlimm Sand (John Sand) of Cambridge, Wis., Mary Ann Schlimm of Freedom; Fran (Jim) Kieffer of Appleton, Wis., Robert (Cindy) Schlimm of Seymour, Wis.; her godchildren, Brandon Carlson of Fountain Hills, Ariz., Thomas Schlimm of Seymour and Cyndi Trevethan of Appleton.

Additional survivors include nieces and nephews, Dr. Nicole Kieffer (Dr. Claudius Mahr) of Evanston, Ill., Margo Kieffer of Appleton, Lesley Kieffer of Chicago, Tom, Dan and Anna Schlimm of Seymour, and Nicole (Mike) Lutz of Iron Mountain. In addition, Nancy enjoyed her numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends throughout her lifetime.

Friends may call at St. Mary and St. Joseph Parish, 411 West B St., Iron Mountain on Friday, from 11 a.m. until Mass of Christian Burial at 12 noon with Fr. Daniel Zaloga officiating.
