Services have been set for longtime Springfield educator and school board member Mike Zimmers, who passed away last week at the age of 72.
Zimmers worked for 34 years in District 186 as a teacher, principal, and administrator, and had spent nine years on the school board, including three as board president, up until his death.
He will be remembered in a visitation at the Southeast High School auditorium this Saturday, October 15th, from 2 to 4:45pm, followed by a funeral service there at 5pm. A private burial ceremony will be held at a later date in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Memorial donations may be made in his name to the Springfield Public Schools Foundation.
