Nancy Marie Carothers passed away on October 8th, 2025 in St. Paul, Minnesota.

She was born on March 21, 1964 in St. Paul, MN to Doris May Murnane and Leonard Henry Schrenkler.

Nancy earned a master barber license from Minnesota School of Barbering in 1987. She then proceeded to work as a barber for nearly 3 decades. She kept herself busy working multiple jobs to provide a great life for her children.

She loved baking in her free time. She really enjoyed putting smiles on the faces of her loved ones. "Fancy Nancy" loved the finer things in life; gold jewelry, luxury purses and shoes, to fast cars and a fun time. She was always the life of the party, even if she didn't want to be. She took great pride in her appearance and always made sure her hair stood taller than anyone else’s. She enjoyed sewing and making costumes for Halloween.  She loved her kids and her grandkids so much. The heart Nancy had was unmatched. She always gave out love unconditionally.

She is preceded in death by Bud and Doris Schrenkler, Gilbert Carothers.
