(Dec 9, 2020) Saranac Lake native and Adirondack legend Natalie Leduc passed away on Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2020. She was 90 years old.
Leduc was a fixture of community life in her hometown. She’s fondly remembered as many folks’ first ski instructor, and was deeply involved with Historic Saranac Lake. In 2018, she was recognized by the Norwegian government for the 37 years she spent tending the graves of Norwegian sailors in the Pine Ridge Cemetery.
In 2016 Amy Feiereisel and Ellen Rocco interviewed Leduc for our North Country at Work series. We're republishing her work story in remembrance of Leduc.
