Margaret A. Heermann

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Margaret A. Heermann, 30, of Greenwood, Indiana, who passed away unexpectedly on January 9, 2025, due to cardiac arrest at her home. Margaret was born on December 16, 1994, in Indianapolis, Indiana, to her loving parents, Thomas K. Heermann and Connie L. Heermann.
Margaret was a warm, compassionate, and faithful woman whose life was dedicated to serving others, sharing her love of learning, and spreading joy. A graduate of Center Grove High School, Class of 2013. She worked as a teacher's aide at Greenwood Christian Church, where her creativity, patience, and nurturing spirit profoundly impacted her class of 4-year-olds. Her students adored her for the time she spent coloring with them, inspiring their imaginations, and encouraging their growth.
Margaret's faith was central to her life. As a devoted member of St. Mary of Egypt Orthodox Church, she read her Bible daily and immersed herself in Christian literature, deepening her relationship with God. Her faith guided her in living a life of service and compassion, always caring for those less fortunate than herself.
In addition to her professional and spiritual life, Margaret had a vibrant personality and a love for the arts and nature. She found joy in painting and coloring, often sharing her creative pursuits with her students and family. An avid walker, she cherished time outdoors, finding peace and reflection in God's creation. Margaret also had a deep interest in her family's genealogy, dedicating herself to uncovering and preserving her family's history for future generations.
Even in passing, Margaret's generosity and selflessness continue to shine. As an organ and tissue donor, she has saved the lives of three people and is likely to save a fourth life very soon. Through her gifts of tissue donation, she will go on to improve and heal the lives of dozens more. Margaret's extraordinary legacy of giving will continue to ripple outward, touching the lives of many in ways that words cannot fully express.
Margaret is survived by her loving parents, Thomas and Connie Heermann; her brother, Dylan Heermann; her uncle, Michael (Eva) Fesi; her maternal aunt, Cindy (Alexander III) Lange; her paternal aunt, Ann Heermann; and her godmother, Amber Duncan.
Visitation will be held from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, January 19, 2025, at G. H. Herrmann Greenwood Funeral Home, 1605 S. State Road 135, Greenwood, Indiana.
Funeral services will be conducted at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, January 20, 2025, at St. Mary of Egypt Orthodox Church, 102 E. Broadway Street, Greenwood, Indiana. Margaret will be laid to rest at The Gardens at Olive Branch Cemetery, and a Mercy Meal will follow at St. Mary of Egypt Orthodox Church to honor her memory and gather in fellowship.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Charlene's Angels in Greenwood, Indiana, or to St. Mary of Egypt Orthodox Church, honoring Margaret's commitment to helping others and her faith.
Margaret will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Her unwavering faith, love for children, and compassionate heart will continue to inspire and comfort those who had the privilege of knowing her. May she rest in eternal peace, embraced by God's love.
