Patricia Rimbach

Patricia “Trish” “Pat” Rimbach, 86, passed away on September 11, 2026, in Ocala, Florida, after a lengthy battle with Parkinson’s Disease. Trish was born in Miami, Florida, but later moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she spent her childhood and part of her adult life. She was fortunate to have been able to live in many parts of the United States to include Illinois, Colorado and California. In 1992, she settled in Utah where she worked as an Accounts Payable Clerk for Shriner’s Children's Hospital, for over two decades. She retired in 2019, and eventually moved to Ocala, Florida. She spent her retirement relaxing in the sun and participating in all things Disney. In her free time, Trish loved to spend time with her family. She enjoyed bird-watching from her Florida room, taking trips to Disney, having ice cream for dinner (Grandma’s Dinner), and playing card games like Pokeno. Trish is survived by her four children Debbie Young, Scott (Mei Mei) Rimbach, Shawn (Laura) Rimbach, and Dana Rimbach. She is also survived by her 7 grandchildren, Dakota (Shelbie) Rimbach, Alec (Brittany) Sullens, Scott Christian Rimbach, Caitlin Young, Ryan (Samantha) Young, Makaela Sullens, and Shannon Rimbach; as well as, her two great grandchildren Katarina and Scott. Trish is also survived by her sisters-in-law Wanda McLaughlin and Jean Almart. Trish is preceded in death by her mother Naomi Loeper, siblings Roberta Mizerny and R. Thomas McLaughlin, as well as, her beloved husband Richard Rimbach. A memorial service will be held at a later time by Celestis Memorial Space Flights. Trish's last wish was that her remains be sent into space so anyone who misses her only needs to look to the sky and she will be there. The family will provide a link for those who are interested in viewing the rocket launch . The family wishes to extend gratitude to the doctors and nurses at West Marion Hospital who always took great care of Trish. We would also like to thank the staff at the E.W. & Lucille Cates House for their compassion and care of Trish in her final days.

Fox Foundation to help find a cure for Parkinson’s Disease. https://www.parkinson.org/?form=FUNDCCBEVVK&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=ppc&utm_campaign=brand&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=10893582437&gbraid=0AAAAACQE-k7BCUvJLzm2Elio5x-s7yw1a&gclid=CjwKCAjw_KjVBhAHEiwAnC0N9GwcaW9W90vBvtgPVhj4ybvpNEzwQ_LZThNOwiGdOXfXTl6w-mTqsRoCi3oQAvD_BwE&appealCode=Tribute https://give.michaeljfox.org/campaign/831853/donate?c_src=oc-a1bVL0000089A6n
