Mattie Elizabeth Zeigler Stockman went Home to be with the Lord on May 28, 2025 at the age of 81. Born in Columbia, SC, she was the daughter of the late Johnny A. Zeigler and Marguerite Turlington Zeigler.

Mattie was known affectionately as, “Baby,” by her husband, “Mama,” by her children and “Grandmama,” by her grands. She loved her family, the Lord and never met a stranger. She was a graduate of Columbia High. She worked at Allied Chemical/Honeywell for 38 years, then worked as title runner for Enterprise Car Rental for at least 12 years.

She was a devout Christian and enjoyed reading her Bible and sharing the Lord with anyone.

She enjoyed camping, reading, spending time with her family and grands. She loved all of her dogs, owls and was an avid nature lover. Two of her favorite Facebook “stalkings” were Frannie and the Postman and Longhorn Lesters. She could tell you everything about them. :) She loved Nascar racing and Atlanta Braves baseball.

Mama had a heart of gold, and she will be loved forever and missed by all who loved her
