Carole Ann Zimmerman
December 12, 1948 ‒ November 18, 2011
Mansfield, Ohio
Carole Ann Zimmerman, born December 12, 1948,
loving mother to Charles Williams and Amy
Bigler, and grandmother to Kendra, Tessa, and
Isabella Bigler has journeyed home to her
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in Heaven on
Friday, November 18, 2011. She was 62.
Carole was preceded in death by her
parents Howard and Margaret (Harrold)
Perathaner, and her brother Bruce Perathaner.
Carole was a lifelong Mansfield resident and
a graduate of Malabar High School, class of
1966. Immediately after high school Carole
obtained employment at the local phone
company, where she worked tirelessly for 40
years to provide for her family.
Carole was a member of several groups
over her lifetime, from time as a union
representative at the phone company, to her
involvement with the AMVETS and the 37th
Division veterans group. She worked
extensively in the community with All God’s
Children and Kings of Service Daughters at
Central United Methodist Church and the
Women’s Democratic Party.
After retiring from the phone
company, Carole was able to join the
Sociables Group and spend more time with her
friends Connie Marfia, Pauline Malone, Chris
Calhoun, Betty Sherman, Eleanor Dixon Wade,
and so many others. She enjoyed preserving
her memories through scrapbooking and
blessing family and friends through her
wonderful cooking. As much as Carole was
proud of her lady bug collection it paled in
comparison to how she cherished playing with
and loving her granddaughters.
Memorial services for Carole will be
Tuesday, November 29, 2011 at 11am with her
beloved church family at Chapel Hill United
Methodist Church, located at 3716 Bellville
North Road. Interment will take place at a
future date.
Please send any donations to Chapel
Hill United Methodist Church for their
ministry or dedicate a Bible in her name with
Gideons International.
