Nicole Rene Riva Carlson

Nicole “Nikki” Rene Riva Carlson, age 52, of Kennett Square, passed away unexpectedly after a tragic accident on March 26, 2026, in St. Louis, Missouri. 

Born in Milwaukee, WI, she was the daughter of Joseph Reneau and Linda Riva Mulhollon.

Nikki was the kind of woman whose strength didn’t need to be announced as it was felt in every hug, every word of encouragement, or every sacrifice made quietly for the sake of her daughters. She poured her whole heart into raising her daughters, Alyssa and Courtney, teaching them to stand tall, be brave, and love fiercely, just as she did. Though she is no longer here to hold their hands, her spirit wraps around them still, living in the courage, kindness, and resilience she nurtured in them every day of her life.

Nikki is survived by her parents, Joseph Reneau (Dorise) and Linda Riva Mulhollon; her daughters, Alyssa N. Carlson and Courtney E. Carlson; the father of her girls, Bradley B. Carlson; her siblings, Michael Mulhollon, Jonathan Reneau, and Kirsten Reneau Metivier (Eddison); and her stepfather, Gary Mulhollon.

You are invited to visit with Nikki's family and friends from 10 a.m. to noon on Friday, April 10 at the Willowdale Chapel at 675 Unionville Road in Kennett Square. Her life celebration service will begin at noon. Interment will be private.

Arrangements are being handled by Grieco Funeral Home of Kennett Square.  To read her full obituary, please visit www.griecofunerals.com.
