My condolences go out to the family of Denby Zimmerman. She was loved by a lot of students and encouraged them to go on to greater things. Mrs. Zimerman was the type of person that would listen and not judge.
I was so happy that she could attend the Class of 67 – 40th reunion in OC, MD. She told us a lot of stories about the students and also stories about herself. She kept us all laughing. She will be missed.

My sympathy to the family. Mrs. Zimmerman was a wonderful teacher and individual lady. A model of patience and regulations. She often measured skirts to make sure they were acceptable length. She must have been surprised to see what the H.S. students wear today. She attended our 1967 class reunions . The last time I saw her she was so happy. In O.C. at the reunion. She laughed about the shower rooms. I am the lucky owner of a hand towel she made for the raffle.
Mrs. Zimmerman...

Next to the cafeteria as I was turning around proudly, in front of an audience of hundreds, I backed into Mrs. Zimmerman's car/van door and caved it in. She has been part of this oft repeated saga for all these years since. I currently have an 18 year old daughter I am teaching to drive and just...

Mrs. Zimmerman was my business subjects teacher at Peary almost 50 years ago. I remember her fondly and her teachings held me in good stead for many years in my own business. Condolences to her family.
