Nancy was born on March 3, 1958, in Duluth, MN, to George and Millicent Carlson. She graduated from Duluth Central High School in 1976 and attended the London Road Technical School.

She is survived by her loved and loving sons Jamie Osberg and Jesse Osberg; brother Gregory Carlson (Sherri); sisters Diane Kolquist (James Seitz), Trisha Marincel (David) and Susan Anderson ( Steven); cousin Kathy Johnson, nieces and nephews and many great nieces and nephews.
