The woman died Sunday four days after being struck at East Center and Broad streets.
Charmaine Lichtenwalner lived most of her life across from Nazareth Moravian Church, along the borough's Center Square.
The 79-year-old woman who died after being struck by a truck lived in a stone house and raised five children. She later became a grandmother to 23 children and nine great grandchildren. She was married to her husband, Hale Lichtenwalner, for 59 years.
It's unclear where Lichtenwalner was headed at 4:24 p.m. May 24 when she was struck by a pickup truck at East Center and Broad streets. She was taken to St. Luke's University Hospital in Fountain Hill, where she died Sunday surrounded by family.
Nazareth woman dies days after being hit by pickup truck
The female driver of the pickup, a Bushkill Township woman, has not been identified by police. Nazareth Officer Alan Koch this week said more information would be forthcoming as the investigation progresses.
The driver has not been charged in the accident.
Lichtenwalner was well known in Nazareth, a woman at Lichtenwalner's home said Wednesday. Lichtenwalner often enjoyed walking through the downtown and was known for her summer yard sales.
Aside from Hale and her mother, Mary Frey, Lichtenwalner leaves behind her sons, Todd Lichtenwalner and Doug Lichtenwalner and his wife Annette, of Nazareth; and daughters, Tracey Harper and her husband Tim of Philipsburg, Centre County; Kelly Moore and her husband, Kenny, of Reading; and Tara Hicks and her husband Jim of Bath.
She also is survived by her brothers, Tim Frey and his wife Mary Lou of Nazareth; and Jeff Frey of Easton; as well as her sister, Sandra Richline and her husband Bob, of Easton.
She was predeceased by her father, Richard Frey, and a brother, Richard Frey Jr.
A private burial is being planned for Thursday. A memorial service is scheduled for 2 p.m. June 10 at Benders Mennonite Church, 975 Benders Church Road in Plainfield Township. Services are being handled by Schmidt Funeral Home in Nazareth.
Lichtenwalner grew up in Tatamy and graduated from Nazareth Area High School, as well as East Stroudsburg University. She was a member of Benders Mennonite Church and a zealous Christian, family members said.
