(KNZA)--A Hiawatha Elementary School teacher is being remembered.
USD 415 Superintendent Lonnie Moser on Monday announced the death of 1st and 2nd grade special education instructor Janice Kneisley following a courageous battle with lung cancer.
The 62-year-old Kneisley had spent the last 18 years working in special education.
Moser said Kneisley was " a true teacher to the end." He said "her dedication and positive influence will be deeply missed."
Moser said counselors, social workers and other personnel will be present for the days ahead to assist students and staff with their emotional needs during this difficult time.
A celebration of life service will be held Friday afternoon at 2:00 at the Chapel Oaks Funeral Home, in Hiawatha.
