A longtime University Housing employee died Thursday from injuries suffered earlier in the day when she was struck by a U-M bus.

Nancy Sanders was struck near the intersection of East Ann Street and Zina Pitcher Place while she was walking to work. She died Thursday afternoon at University Hospital. Ann Arbor Police continue to investigate the crash.

In an email message to University Housing employees, Housing Director Linda Newman said Sanders joined University Housing in 1977. She was a custodian who worked for several years at West Quad and most recently at Couzens and Alice Lloyd halls.

“Many of us in Housing and the campus community knew Nancy and enjoyed her friendship. This is a tragic loss. We will miss her very much. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with her family,” Newman wrote to Housing employees.

Funeral services are scheduled for 11 a.m. Monday, June 23, at the David C. Brown Temporary Viewing Chapel, 500 E. Huron River Drive, Belleville.
