Miriam E. Kamann

Miriam E. Kamann, age 95, of Oregon, Ohio passed away peacefully on Tuesday, December 31, 2024 at Kingston Rehabilitation of Perrysburg. She was born on October 31, 1929 in Cloverdale, Ohio to Michael and Pauline (Pittner) Burgei. Miriam was married to Norman Kamann for 61 years and was a stay-at-home mom.  In her, spare time, she loved to make cakes for every occasion, especially weddings. She worked for the Toledo Board of Education for 15 years, retiring in 2005. Miriam was a former member of Good Shepherd Catholic Church where she served as treasurer of the Altar Rosary Society for 23 years. Miriam is a current member of St. Jerome Catholic Church. 

Miriam lived her faith with acts of love, kindness, and generosity. She enjoyed listening to music and spending time with family, especially holidays and vacations.  She always opened her home for family get togethers, the more the merrier.  Holding babies always brought a smile to her face. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
