Ann Plassenthal Obituary

Ann Catherine Plassenthal, 71 years young, died peacefully in her sleep at home January 2, 2022. She will be missed by many, but most of all by her loving husband of 48 years, Gerald. Ann was his best friend, companion and the love of his life. Ann was the mother of three wonderful children and four fantastic grandchildren. She will be remembered as a thoughtful person, who spent most of her life caring for others, her infectious smile and her sense of humor. Ann was an advocate for people with disabilities, and a passion for reading, science fiction and the arts.

She is survived by her children Nichole (Drew), Megan and Brian; grandchildren Jasmine, Canon, Chloe and Olivia. Also surviving are her siblings Clare Zimmerman, Jack Zimmerman, Rita (Jim) Hartke, and Joan (Joe) Chochran; numerous nieces and nephews.

I am still stunned and thinking of you, Jerry, the kids and the extended family at this time. She was such a sweet, loving and giving person. Though I may have moved away from Ohio, I still considered her a very dear friend. Hopefully, soon your memories will bring comfort, peace and a smile to your face.

I am sorry to hear of Ann passing at such a young age. She was so wonderful and kind hearted to care so much for my brother-in -law Delbert and help him in so many ways. My sympathy to the family.

My thoughts and prayers are with Annie´s family as everyone adjusts to this tragic loss. I always looked up to Ann when spending precious summer vacations in Maine with my fun Zimmerman cousins....and later blessed with meeting Jerry and kids in a wonderful Maine reunion. Sending love to you all.
