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 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, Ohio 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 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.
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.
The Lexington Avenue Snyder Funeral Home is honored to serve Carole's family, and
private condolences to them may be made by visiting:
