Beverly Lueder

Beverly D. Lueder, of Plymouth, passed away on November 23, 2021 at the age of 86 at
Sharon Richardson Hospice in Sheboygan Falls.  A pillar of her community over nine
decades, Bev dedicated her life to her family, her congregation, and the neediest members
of society.
She was the daughter of Arno and Margaret Lueder, sister of the late Delores Sohn (nee
Lueder), and beloved aunt to three generations of nieces and nephews.
Bev devoted her time and energy to St. John Lutheran Church, where she was a faithful
member her whole life, singing in the choir, working with the Lutheran Women’s
Missionary League (LWML), and serving as a Sunday School teacher.  In 1961 she
established a Special Education Sunday School program, which she continued to lead
throughout her life, along with Vacation Bible School programs, a hand bell choir, and
workshops geared towards those with special needs.  She was instrumental in working
with The Arc of Plymouth to open the Hilltop Manor Group Home for those with intellectual
disabilities, for which she served as a board member and business manager for many years.
During her time with the Lutheran Chorus of Sheboygan she traveled across the United
States and Canada, Central America, and Europe singing at various churches and spreading
the Word of God.  She continued to travel throughout her life, including twice to the Holy
Land, and always returned with photographs, stories, and gifts for those that stayed
behind.
After her retirement from Thomas Industries, Inc., where she worked for years as the
Secretary to the General Manager and Controller, she raised money and went on mission
trips to Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, and Guatemala, where she conducted eye examinations and
fitted eyeglasses to those in need.
She continued to provide comfort to others throughout her life and was well-known at
Rocky Knoll nursing home, where she could often be found handing out popcorn and smiles
to the residents.
Survivors include her niece, Jennifer Hogan (nee Sohn), Sheboygan; nephew Jeff (Bonnie)
Sohn, Sheboygan Falls; great-niece Michelle (Corey) Holman; great-niece Angela (Doug)
Kilb and their daughters, Mackenzie and Lillian; great-nephew Jared Sohn; great-nephew
Josh (Kelli) Sohn and their children, Megan, Julia, and Miles; and many others who loved
her and will always carry her in their hearts.
Funeral Services will be held on Tuesday (November 30, 2021) at St. John Lutheran Church
in Plymouth. Visitation will take place from 3:00-5:00PM with a service to follow at
5:00PM. Rev. John Schultz will officiate and burial will be in Plymouth Woodlawn
