Margaret Ann Lightner

Margaret Ann Bihlman Lightner, 89, of Cadiz, Ohio passed away on February 18, 2025, at the Valley Hospice Care Center North in Steubenville, Ohio with her daughter by her side. She was born on March 17, 1935, in Bellaire, Ohio, a daughter of the late John Clifford and Margaret Young McLeod. 

Ann worked as a bank teller at First National, now PNC, Bank in Cadiz for many years. In her free time, she loved to bowl and thoroughly enjoyed cooking. She was a member of the Red Hatters club. She also volunteered at the Clark Gable House Museum in Cadiz. Ann was a member of the Presbyterian Church of Cadiz for many years. In her later years, she attended Bethel Church in Jewett. Ann will be remembered as someone who was a joy to be around—she loved all things girly and was a fashionist, she loved her family and was sharp as a tack for her entire life. 

She was preceded in death in addition to her parents by her first husband, Richard Graff Bihlman, and her second husband, Melvin “Pete” Lightner; sisters: Jean Seiverston, Alice Brown, Joyce Wolfe and Betty Lou Harris; and brothers, Leo McLeod and Norman McLeod. 

Ann is survived by her daughter, Cathy Bihlman of Cadiz; special friend, Pete Davidson; and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. 

Visitation will be held on Tuesday February 25, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. until the time of funeral service at 2:00 p.m. at Clark-Kirkland-Barr Funeral Home in Cadiz, with Joyce Barr officiating. Burial will take place at Fairview Gardens Cemetery, Jewett.
