Nancy Kelly

Nancy was born in Ishpeming on January 30, 1949, a daughter of the late Alice (Lampshire) and Robert Nelson. She was a graduate of Ishpeming High School, Class of 1967, and went on to attend cosmetology school in Green Bay, WI. Nancy married Glenn Kelly on November 23, 1974, and together they made their home in Ishpeming. She proudly served her clients for many years at the Style Wright Beauty Nook and later at the Cameo Beauty Salon. Even in retirement, Nancy continued her calling, offering haircuts to community members who were homebound and in need.

Nancy loved to go shopping, especially for flowers, and she cherished her time spent at the Fezatt family camp on Lake Michigamme. She was known for her warm smile that could brighten any room and for her willingness to help anyone in need.

Nancy is survived by a special niece, Robbie jo (Dan) Fezatt of Negaunee; and their children, Evan (Geordann Glonek) Fezatt of Ishpeming and Hailey (Trevor) Koski of Marquette, and their daughter, Rachel Koski; along with several nephews. She is also survived by a special cousin, Deb Kelly Morris-affectionately known to Nancy simply as ‘Cuz.’

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Glenn, in 2000; a special friend, William Haupt, in 2023; her sister and brother-in-law, Roberta and Joseph Rice; brothers-in-law Rodger Kelly, Jim (Mary) Kelly, and Bruce Kelly; sister-in-law Frances (Dillard) Witt; and her parents-in-law, Fred and Gladys Kelly.

In accordance with Nancy’s wishes, cremation will take place, and a private graveside service will be held at the Ishpeming Cemetery.

Nancy’s family extends their heartfelt thanks to the entire staff of the Marquette County Medical Care Facility for their kind and compassionate care.
