Nancy Ann Acker

Nancy Ann Acker (nee Plumer) was born March 24, 1943 in Midland, the middle child with a sister and a brother on either side of her. She was taken to heaven on August 3, 2021 to meet her Lord after a short illness. The family lived on Carter Road in Midland County. She was confirmed in the Lutheran Church by Rev. M.L. Martin. She married Franklin Lyle Acker on January 23, 1965 at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Midland by Rev. M.L. Martin. They were blessed with two children, Richard Allen Acker and Christina Lynn (Acker) Cieslik.

After they were married, Frank and Nancy moved to Big Rapids where Frank was studying at Ferris State University. Frank and Nancy then moved to Owosso to build their home. They moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana to be near their children and later moved back to Michigan, settling in the Lansing area to enjoy their retirement.

Nancy was a school lunch lady in Owosso, Corunna, Big Rapids, Fort Wayne and in Holt, she enjoyed interacting with the kids. At 50 years old God granted her wish where she could spread love, friendship and caring through a bakery. She owned Gourmet Breads & Sweets Bakery in Fort Wayne, where she rose before the sun came up and made thousands of the most delectable cinnamon rolls, pies, breads and other baked goods. She could talk to you about baking for hours and she always welcomed questions from family on any questions related to it. Nancy was a wonderful mother and grandmother and her family always knew she loved them very much. Her light will continue to shine in the lives of those who knew her.

Survived by her husband of 50 years, Frank, son Richard (Becca), their children Justine and Kaleigh Acker and daughter Christina, her children Rachel and Temperance Cieslik. She is also survived by her sister Marilyn (Leo) Gay, brothers Bob (Judy) Plumer and Bryon (Dawn) Plumer and nieces and nephews Kimberly Gay-Armour (Aaron), Kathy Nicodemus (Robert), Betty Plumer, Jill Plumer (Cathy Puharic), Shelly Plumer, Tammy Plumer, Scott Plumer and Jacob Simpson.
