BEECHER – After 27 years of service to the Village of Beecher, Police Department Records Clerk Linda Krug is retiring.

The announcement was made by Police Chief Terry Lemming during the June 23 village board meeting. Lemming praised Krug for her long and dedicated career with the village.

“She’s a model employee, great person to work with,” Lemming said. “Great person, great employee, really going to miss her.”

Lemming highlighted Krug’s importance to the department’s operations, noting that her absence was immediately felt during a recent vacation. When several new situations arose, her institutional knowledge was essential upon her return.

While Krug has requested not to have a party or celebration to mark her retirement, Lemming indicated the department plans to honor her service anyway.
