ELAINE ZIMMERMAN
Elaine D. Zimmerman, 84, passed away on May 28, 2006, at St. Mary Medical Center.
Born on March 10, 1922, in Bismarck, N.D., Elaine was raised in St. Paul, Minn., and
served in the Naval Reserve, where she met and married her late husband, Virgil H.
Zimmerman, in 1943. Elaine raised her family in Mulliken, Mich., and upon retiring from
the State of Michigan after 21 years, she moved to Victorville in 1985.
Elaine was a founding member of the Victor Valley Cat Club and served in the Himalayan
Society for years before it disbanded in the mid-1990s. In recent years, she focused on
the American Wirehair breed. She was always challenging herself to create new lines of
breeds and colors for the cat world. Elaine is survived by her three children, Constance
Haag and her husband, Gordon, Deidre Beard and her husband, Rodger, and Roger Zimmerman;
seven grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Visitation will be held at noon Saturday
at Kern Memorial Chapel, 14444 Seventh St. in Victorville. Services will immediately
follow at 1 p.m. Elaine will be laid to rest in Mulliken, Mich., with her late husband,
Virgil, and deceased son, Randall. Kern Memorial Chapel is handling arrangements.
