Biographical/Historical Sketch
Zeigler Homes was founded by Charlotte Zeigler in 1977. Her goal was to help mentally challenged people. Charlotte’s husband, Charles Sr., also shared the same dream by helping her achieve their goal while supporting her along the way. Her children six also helped as they grew older. Shortly after the founding of Zeigler Homes, the Zeigler Vance Street Home was established, providing a sense of care to the community for those in need of help. Charlotte also had a strong Christian belief. She served as a pastor for seven years at Refuge Holy Tabernacle Church in Toledo, Ohio. Because of her strong intuition, Charlotte established Zeigler Habilitation Homes, Inc. in 1979. It is a Christian non-profit organization which helps the mentally challenged by providing quality care and service. For the rest of her life, Charlotte was recognized by many providers and paved the way for many new organizations to begin. Her accomplishments include houses that were established by Zeigler Habilitation Homes in the Toledo area (also see the website for more on the houses) to help the mentally challenged in the community. She was also commemorated by the State of Ohio for her work. Sadly, Charlotte passed away on March 20th, 2005 at the age of 75. Her legacy will be remembered from those who benefited from her help and the surviving Zeigler family who still supports her work everyday.
