Effie V. Rimer, 94, who was born in Westover, Pennsylvania on May 1st, 1930, a daughter of the late James and Frances Brothers, passed away on January 1st, 2025. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband Howard, a baby sister Ruth, a brother Dallas, a sister Leta and a grandson, Sgt. Joshua J. Rimer.

She is survived by her three children, Kathleen Dulaney of Aliquippa, Darlene Rimer of Aliquippa and James (Donna) Rimer of Beaver Falls, four grandchildren: Brian (Dana) Long of Aliquippa, Amy (Ron) Nichols of Bakerstown, Shannon (Steven) Fenton of Beaver Falls, Cory (Giovanni) Dulaney of Philadelphia and great grandchildren: Ryland and Addilyn Nichols, Erin and Eva Long, Christian and Noah Fenton and Kayden and Arimenta Dulaney.

After relocating to Conway, to seek employment, Effie met and married her husband, Howard Rimer of 30 years, before death separated them. They were the parents of three children, Kathleen Dulaney, Darlene Rimer and James (Donna) Rimer.

She was saved at the age of twelve years old and grew in the Lord becoming a faithful worker in the church. Effie taught Sunday School and VBS. She was also in the choir, playing the piano/organ and doing whatever her hands found to do. In 1965, when the Lord called her husband to ministry, she found herself wearing a new hat of “pastor’s wife” where she continued to serve with the same fervency and faithfulness at Millerstown Methodist Church for fourteen years.

After the passing of her husband, she worked at Valley News of Tarentum, Pennsylvania before moving to Chippewa to be closer to her family. In Chippewa, she joined Riverview Methodist Church, serving in the choir, playing the piano when needed, attending Bible Study and Sunday School.  Always and wherever she was, Effie had a carload of people taking them with her to church and different events.  Before moving to Aliquippa, she also worked at Burger King for many years.  After moving to Aliquippa, she began to regularly attend New Life Presbyterian Church.

Friend will be received on Wednesday, January 8th from 5-8pm in the Huntsman Funeral Home and Cremation Services of Aliquippa, 2345 Mill Street, where a Funeral Service will be held on Thursday, January 9th at 11 a.m. in New Life Presbyterian Church 2795 Patterson Drive, Aliquippa.
