Margaret Ann "Peggy" Zimmer
Peggy was born on November 14th, 1935, and grew up in the Sandusky area. She graduated in 1953 from Bowling Green High School and earned her bachelor’s degree in 1957 from Bowling Green State University, where she later earned her master’s degree. Peggy was a BGSU member of the Delta Gamma sorority (Beta Mu chapter). One of the many moments of joy in her life was when she married Ernie in 1958 at Prout Chapel on the BGSU campus. She and Ernie remained married until his death in 1998. Peggy taught 3rd grade in Bowling Green and later served as the Executive Secretary in Mayfield Heights to Mayor Ross C. DeJohn, Sr. She enjoyed attending a good party, traveling, cheering on the Cleveland Browns, singing, and eating a really good hamburger. Peggy was devoted to God, her family, and her friends. Her loving family described her as fun, friendly, caring, and generous. Peggy passed away on March 5, 2024, and will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
