KLOTZ, Nancy

Just short of her 90th birthday, Nancy Lee Anne Ruth Treu Klotz passed away peacefully September 13, 2023. She was a life long Lutheran, and long time member of Lutheran Church of the Redeemer. She was preceded in death by her parents, Herbert and Bertha Treu; her late husband, Charles Lee Klotz, and her son-in-law, Kenneth Brock.

Nancy started as a busy housewife raising 3 children in Milwaukee, WI. The family moved to Pittsburgh, PA, Greenwood, SC, and finally Atlanta, GA where she has been for the past 42 years. She became a non-traditional student graduating with a BA in English from Mercer University, and started her love of teaching at Dekalb Tech as an English As A Second Language teacher. She retired from teaching having worked 20 plus years. Throughout the years, her passion for writing really expounded. She was a member of the Atlanta Poetry Society, Atlanta Writers Guild, American Pen Women-Atlanta Chapter, and the American Rosie the Riveter Association. Her poems won numerous awards in the southeast and internationally. However, her greatest accomplishment was in publishing a historical fiction novel "Murder at Indigo Springs".
