Perce, Carol Nancy, age 76, of Muskego, formerly Racine, passed away peacefully at AngelsGrace Hospice in Oconomowoc on Tuesday, January 30, 2018. Carol was born January 6, 1942 in Bay View, the daughter of the late Charles and June (nee. Skagen) Sears. Her family moved to Racine in 1957 where she graduated from Horlick High School in 1959. In her early working years, Carol served as an accounting specialist for local Racine businesses. Her last and favorite job was working as a cashier at Piggly Wiggly on Spring Street in Racine. She was a longtime member of Emmaus Lutheran Church in Racine until she moved to Muskego in 2013 and became a member of Norway Lutheran Church. Carol found great joy in being a loving mom to her three children and found even greater joy in being “Grammy” to her daughter’s three girls.
Carol is survived by her children: Charles Perce of Sheboygan, Jeffrey Perce of Racine and Sandra (Nicholas) Zeleski of Waterford; granddaughters: Kathrine (Alex) Knutson, Laura Zeleski and Kelli Zeleski. She is further survived by brother: William (Laurie) Sears of Traverse City, MI; niece: Kelsey (Jay) Walton and family; and niece: Natalie Sears.
Carol was preceded in death by her parents, and brothers David Sears and Thomas Sears.
Visitation with family and friends will be held on Tuesday, February 6, 2018 from 2:00-3:00 PM followed by a 3:00 PM funeral service officiated by Pastor Mark Jaramillo at Norway Lutheran Church, 6321 Heg Park Road, Wind Lake, WI, 53185.
In lieu of floral expressions of sympathy, the family suggests memorials in Carol’s name be made to the Norway Lutheran Church “Building Fund”.
The family would like to thank the nurses and staff of AngelsGrace Hospice in Oconomowoc for their loving care during her last days and the staff of Regency Muskego for their kind care and friendship over the past five years.
