Nancy Carson Nuss

Nancy Carson Nuss passed away on Thursday, December 26, 2019 in Chicago, IL, taking a deserved rest after a long battle with diabetes. She was in Chicago celebrating Christmas with her family, whom she loved dearly.

She was born in New Orleans on October 4, 1954 to Charles B. and Yolanda “Lonny” D. Carson.

Nancy is survived by her husband Robert Nuss, daughters Staci Nuss Mulkerrin (wife of Sean Mulkerrin) and Lauren Nuss (wife of Sarah Nuss), her sister Darlene Langendonk (wife of Jim Langendonk), and two grandchildren Abigail and Shane Mulkerrin. Nancy was preceded in death by her parents and her brother Charles “Skip” Carson.

Nancy grew up in New Orleans, the city she adored, and attended St. Joseph Academy. She enjoyed traveling, cruises especially, as well as a quick visit to one of the Gulf Coast casinos. She believed it was important to be kind and to help others, always putting the needs of others before her own. Nancy loved get-togethers with friends and family, sharing conversation over wine, cheese and charcuterie. She was well known for her spunk, as well as for her warm smile and clever quips. Nancy would want us not to grieve our loss, but to celebrate the life she lived with fond memories.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend a Memorial Mass in the chapel of Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. New Orleans, on Wednesday, January 8, 2020 at 3pm with a public visitation beginning at 12:30pm. Interment will take place in Lake Lawn Park Mausoleum.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks to please consider making a donation to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (jdrf.com) in Nancy’s name.
