Immanuel Lutheran Staff, Students Mourn Beloved Teacher

Immanuel Lutheran School's much-beloved second grade teacher, Nancy Lederer, passed away Saturday after losing her battle with cancer.

Lederer also taught choir at Immanuel Lutheran and handled all photos for the school's yearbook.

She is remembered for her wonderful voice and loving personality.

A Macomb resident, Lederer is survived by her husband, Bill, and her son, Matt.

The visitation will be Wednesday from 2-8 p.m. at . Immanuel Lutheran will cancel school on Thursday to allow students and staff to attend the funeral at 11 a.m. in the Immanuel Lutheran Church Worship Center. Visitation will be held in the center an hour before the funeral. 

A luncheon will be held following the funeral in the Immanuel Lutheran School gymnasium.  ·      

Principal Bob Christian has asked the community to keep the Lederer family and Immanuel Lutheran students and staff in their prayers. 

"As a community we are extremely sad and will miss Mrs. Lederer very much," Christian said. "She was truly a woman of faith and boldly expressed that faith to all she encountered - especially (to) her second graders throughout the years. We rejoice, also, that she is now in the presence of her savior and using her gift of music as she worships Jesus for eternity."
