Margaret Rimbo Obituary

Margaret W. Rimbo

Margaret W. Rimbo, age 64, died suddenly on June 7, 2014.

Devoted wife of Donald Rimbo for 45 years; beloved mother of Don (Lisa); cherished grandmother of Jack, Jeffrey and Jessica Rimbo; dear sister of Dr. William R. (Dr. Evelyn) Braithwaite, Shirley (Terry) Hunt, and Barbara Adamec; sister-in-law of Sue (Harry) Fejedelem, Bonnie (Bob) Swanson; aunt of numerous loving nieces and nephews and a loyal and cherished friend to many.

Margaret was born on April 20, 1950 in Vancouver, British Columbia, to John "Jack" Shaw and Margaret M. (nee Scott) Braithwaite. In 1955, her family left British Columbia and moved to Burlington, Ontario where they lived until 1960. A job transfer for her father moved the family to Lisle, Illinois where Margaret resided until she met and married her husband in September of 1969.

Margaret graduated from Lisle Community High School and the College of DuPage. She enjoyed a fulfilling career working first for the Illinois Tollway and then as an Executive Assistant for the Village of Oak Brook for more than 20 years. While Margaret did love her work, her first love was being a mother to her only child, Don, and a loving and devoted grandmother to her three grandchildren whom she adored.

Margaret loved spending time with her family and friends, had an easy sense of humor and a contagious laugh. She was a good, kind-hearted woman and will be missed by all who had the honor of knowing and loving her.
