Miriam E. "Mim" Donnerberg, age 91, of New Bremen, died on Sunday, January 5, 2025 at 2:21 A.M. at the Otterbein Senior Lifestyles Community in St. Marys where she had been a resident for a number of years.
She was born on December 3, 1933, in Shelby County, near Anna, the daughter of the late Floyd W. and Mabel L. (Potts) Seigle. On August 7, 1954, she married James H. Donnerberg, with whom she shared 52 wonderful years of marriage before his death on July 15, 2007. On May 17, 1955, Jim and Mim's son Timothy J. Donnerberg was born. Tim died at the age 16 on February 18, 1972.
Mim was the last of her family being preceded in death by her parents, husband, son, and brother, E. Willard Seigle, as well as her in-laws: Dorothy (Charles) Feltman, Mary Lou (Paul) Campbell, Betty (Henry) Bergman-Phlipot, Virginia (Jack) Sweigart, Catherine (Clarence) Jones, Robert Nagel, and Ernest Phlipot. Surviving is a sister in-law, Donna Nagel of St. Marys as well as a large number of nieces and nephews, whom she adored.
Mim was a graduate of Anna High School, and was a long-time and active member of St. Paul United Church of Christ in New Bremen where she was part of several women's groups. She was also active with the New Bremen American Legion Post 241 Auxiliary. She had worked as a milk tester for the former Beatrice Foods in New Bremen, and later at Crown Equipment Corp. in New Bremen where she retired after 25 years on September 30, 1999 from her job in wire harness assembly.
Mim and Jim were avid campers through the years, spending lots of time traveling all over in their motorhome and even wintered in Florida for many years. They were a part of the Traveling Wheels Camping Group of New Bremen and the Moonwalkers Chapter 68 Camping Group of Wapakoneta. Together, they also enjoyed fishing, snowmobiling, and riding their mopeds. Mim enjoyed spending time with her extended family and adored her nieces and nephews. She always appreciated the time spent with each of their families.
Funeral Services will be held on Friday, January 10, 2025 at 11:00 A.M. at St. Paul United Church of Christ in New Bremen with Rev. David Voll officiating. Interment will follow in the Willow Grove Cemetery near New Bremen.
