Margaret Louise Krizman

Margaret Louise Krizman, age 86, passed away on September 10, 2025 surrounded by family and close friends. She was born on November 8, 1938 in Cleveland, Ohio to the late Emery and Louise Krizman. Margaret earned her high school diploma from Euclid High School in 1957 and went on to have a fulfilling career at Rockwell, where she made enduring friendships that lasted long after her retirement. Central to Margaret's life was her deep connection with her "Club" - a remarkable group of women that she had been part of since 1964. Together, they shared laughter, and countless memories that spanned generations. Among her closest friends were Judy Evans, Carol and Bill Michael, and Luddy Kovach, who will fondly remember the joy Margaret brought to their gatherings. Margaret had a great passion for life. She loved her wine and enjoyed her time spent at local wineries and restaurants. She also had a playful spirit and would enjoy many trips to the local casinos. Travel was another source of happiness for Margaret, especially her cherished visit to Slovenia to see family, which held a special place in her heart. Margaret was also obsessed with her "grandbabies," Allee and Zoree, the adored family dogs. They brought her immense joy and warmth over the years. In addition, you could often find her catching her favorite show "Blue Bloods" whenever she got the chance. Margaret was the loving mother of Maria Podmore and Jackie (Podmore) Johnson, from Washington State; a proud grandmother of Gracie Johnson; a cherished sister of the late Jack Krizman; an aunt of Patricia and Jack Jr.; and a niece of the late Marja Kelhar. She was also preceded in death by her former spouse Allen Podmore. Margaret will be greatly missed by all who knew her. A Funeral Mass will be held on Monday, September 15, 2025 at 11:00am at St. Vitus Church 6019 Lausche Ave, Cleveland, OH 44103. Burial will immediately follow at Calvary Cemetery in Cleveland. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that any donation be made in Margaret's memory to Hospice of the Western Reserve Contributions 17876 St. Clair Avenue Cleveland, OH 44110, or St Jude Children's Research Hospital 501 St. Jude Place Memphis, TN 38105, or American Lung Association 55 W.
