Charlotte Nack, 1940-2005
Funeral services for Charlotte Nack, age 65, of Grafton, Iowa, were held Friday, October 28, 2005, at the Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Grafton with Rev. Wayne Ellingson and Irmgard Ellingson, Associate in Ministry, officiating. Burial was in the Grafton Cemetery.
Charlotte passed away Tuesday, October 25, 2005, at the Muse-Norris Hospice Inpatient Unit, in Mason City, Iowa.
Charlotte (Strong) Nack was born September 12, 1940, to Clarence and Dorothy (Nash) Strong in Mason City, Iowa. She graduated from Mason City High School in 1958. She attended the Mercy School of Nursing in Sioux City, Iowa.
Charlotte married Richard Nack of Grafton on June 12, 1960, in Mason City. To this union two daughters were born: Tamara "Tami" and Barbara "Barb".
Charlotte helped her husband with his farming and bin construction company. She was also employed in area fertilizer plants since 1968. She started at the Farmer's Co-op Fertilizer Plant of Grafton in 1989 and continued until ill health forced her to retire.
She and her husband traveled on many trips, including Mexico, Florida and Hawaii. She loved watching the loons on fishing trips to Canada. This was evident in the many loon items she decorated her home with. Her greatest joy was her family. All of her eight grandchildren have special memories of Grandma Nack - especially her homemade buns and "Grandma" corn. She was a past member of the Minerva Study Club, served on the Grafton Library Board and had served as an officer of Grafton Community Action. She was a member of Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Grafton.
Charlotte was preceded in death by her father Clarence Strong, her mother and step-father, Dorothy and V.C. "Beanie" Moon, one nephew, and one step-sister.
She is survived by her husband of 45 years Richard Nack of Grafton; two daughters and their husbands, Tamara "Tami" and Jerry Hemann of Osage, and Barbara "Barb" and Lee Meitner of St. Ansgar; her eight grandchildren, Brandon, Amanda and Hailey Meitner, Brittaney and Blair Wilde, Matthew, Stephanie and Ryan Hemann.
She is also survived by her sisters Darlene (Robert) Fredrickson of Mason City, Linda (Terry) Barnhart of Buffalo, Wyo., Denise (Bill) French of Buffalo Center, Carolyn (Merle) Hanson of N.C., and Dianne Foster of Mass.; sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Ramona and Alvin Meyer of Austin, Minn. She is also survived by many nieces, nephews, friends, and neighbors.
