Margaret Timm Obituary
April 29, 1944 - August 21, 2025
It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Margaret Timm, a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend. Margaret passed at 1:09 a.m., on August 21st, 2025. Born in Salem, Indiana, on April 29, 1944, to Nathan and Lillian Barnard (nee Lykins), Margaret's life was marked by her warmth, kindness, and dedication to those she loved.
Margaret spent part of her childhood in Fort Wayne, Indiana, before moving to Muncie, Indiana, where she attended Muncie Central High School. There she described herself as a "Social Butterfly," and she formed lifelong friendships with Jan Greenlee Campbell, Pam Turner Mahoney, and Sharon Turner Kennedy.
In 1967, Margaret married Jack Hertz, becoming a loving mother to daughters, Elise and Stacy, and stepmother to Jack's daughters, Amy and Melissa (now Sukiennik). Margaret embraced her new family wholeheartedly, converting to Judaism and actively volunteering at Beth-El Temple in Muncie. She was also a dedicated member of Psi Iota Xi, where she contributed to numerous events, including many shifts at the Bargain Box.
Margaret's journey continued in 1986 when she moved to Indianapolis and worked for Musset Nicholas and Associates. Her path of love and commitment led her to Toledo, Ohio, in 1989, where she married Richard Timm. Dick's love for her was unwavering, and he cherished her deeply. Margaret found professional fulfillment at HCR Manor Care in Accounting and was a dedicated volunteer at Olivet Lutheran Church.
Margaret's legacy of love and service continues through her surviving daughter, Elise Hertz; and her grandson, Ray Reisinger (Katie). She was predeceased by her cherished husband, Richard; and her beloved daughter, Stacy.
Margaret's life was a testament to the power of love, friendship, and community. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
