Lorraine Ann Zimmerman
Perry, Michigan
Born December 15, 1942 in Republic, Michigan daughter of the late Arthur and Trini (Heilala) Antilla passed away surrounded by her loving family on Wednesday, June 3, 2026 at the age of 83.
Lorraine was an excellent bookkeeper and record keeper, known for her attention to detail. She and her husband did many projects; building their family home and working on their family cottage to name a few. She enjoyed living a simple life and knitting, but the most important thing to Lorraine was being a mother, a job she did very well.
Surviving are her husband of almost 64 years, Robert Zimmerman, Sr.; their son, Robert (Christina) Zimmerman, Jr.; grandchildren, Marin L. Brooke Zimmerman, Laine Ashlynn Zimmerman, Kaela (Fiance’ John) Chambers, and Jacob (Morgan) Chambers; sister, Doris Mae Plankey along with many nieces, nephews, and other extended family members.
Lorraine was preceded in death by her parents, 3 brothers, and 4 sisters.
Per her wish cremation has taken place and no public service will be held.
Those who wish may make memorial contributions, in memory of Lorraine, to the McLaren Greater Lansing Foundation for the Love of Blankets project or to DeWitt Football Touchdown Club, PO Box 348, DeWitt, MI 48820.

June 7, 2026 at 9:57 pmI was named after Aunt Lorraine. She was such a beautiful presence in my life and the lives of my three sisters after the untimely death of our mother, Lorraine’s oldest sister Ruth, when I was just two years old. Aunt Lorraine will be missed by all of us. I’m glad she can meet our mother again. My sincerest condolences to Uncle Bob, cousin Rob and his family.

June 8, 2026 at 8:47 amWe’re so sorry to hear about Liz’s passing. We met Liz so many years ago while out walking. Liz became such a good friend. We really enjoyed sharing stories about life and family. She and Bob allowed us to stay at their beloved Woodwards Cottage that was very dear to her heart. We created some wonderful memories there. Thank you Liz, may God rest your soul. You’ll be missed.
