Barbara Carlsen Obituary

Carlsen, Barbara Marcella "Marcy"

Madison, WI. Barbara Marcella "Marcy" Carlsen passed away peacefully on Friday, July 5, 2013, at Agrace Hospice Care in Fitchburg, WI. She was born near Dodge, NE on January 9, 1914, to Sebastian and Barbara (Johanes) Sladovnik. Marcy graduated from Dodge High in 1931 and moved to Omaha to attend Van Sant Business College. In Omaha, she met her future husband, Carsten ("Scan"), whom she married on March 15, 1947 in Hiawatha, KS. Marcy worked as a secretary and at the bomber plant during WWII, but primarily (and most proudly) was a homemaker. She and Scan had one child, Barry Roal Carlsen. Marcy was preceded in death by her husband; three brothers, Emil, Ed, and John Sladovnik; and sisters, Anna Kulhanek, Frances Dostal, Stazy Smeall, Bessie Suchan, Adella Orrick, and Bea Lodes. She is survived by her son, Barry and his wife Marja Barger; and her grandchildren, Carsten and Frieda.

I was so sorry to read about Marcella today, she was a very good friend and neighbor, we became friends during your very young years Barry when you and Sandy were play mates. She was a very "special" lady. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
