Lynn Jackenheimer

ASHLAND, Ohio — Funeral arrangements have been announced for Lynn Jackenheimer, the mother from Ashland who was murdered on a vacation to North Carolina.

The funeral for Jackenheimer will take place Monday at 11:00 a.m. at Grace Brethren Church, 1144 W. Main St., Ashland. Her burial will follow in the Ashland Cemetery.

Jackenheimer’s body was discovered on July 14 in an undeveloped cul-de-sac in Frisco, North Carolina.

She had been vacationing in the state with her estranged boyfriend, Nathan Summerfield, 27, and her two children.

According to investigators with the Ashland County Sheriff’s Department, Summerfield returned home to Ashland with the kids, ages 3 and 13, and confessed to his brother that he killed Jackenheimer. Summerfield then disappeared.

A nationwide manhunt for Summerfield has since ensued.

Summerfield was last seen driving a dark grey metallic 2009 Honda Civic. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call the U.S. Marshal Service at 866-4-WANTED. Tips can also be sent via text at TIP411, key word WANTED.

A fund has been set up in support of Jackenheimer’s two children. People can donate to the Lynn A. Jackenheimer Family Trust Fund at any Chase Bank branch
