Margaret Elizabeth (Trimbur) Moore

Margaret Elizabeth Trimbur Moore, 93, of Karns City, passed away Monday evening, July 21, 2025 at Sunnyview Nursing and Rehabilitation in Butler.  Perfectly at rest in her bed, she was the perfect image of “Calm and Content” with a smile on her face. 

Margaret “Margie or Peg” was born on February 29, 1932 in Butler.  She was the daughter of the late Rubert J. and Stella A. McGrady Trimbur.

She was a 1951 graduate of Chicora High School and a past member of the Karns City United Methodist Church. Margie was a hard worker.  Margaret and her husband owned and operated Kenny’s Pizza in Karns City in the 1960’s and 1970’s.  She loved keeping busy and after retirement from the custodial department of Karns City High School, she worked at the former BiLo in Butler as a deli clerk.  It was the right place for her.  She enjoyed meeting and talking with anyone. 

She was preceded in death by her husband, Kenneth P. Moore on August 1, 2006.  The couple was married at the Karns City United Methodist Church on November 22, 1951. 

She is survived by two daughters, Pamela E. Miller of Petrolia and Gloria “Janie” Bromley and her husband, Carl, of New Castle; two grandsons, Matthew Miller of Petrolia and Mark Miller of Chicora; one great grandson, Hayden of Petrolia and one great granddaughter, Mia of Chicora; three sisters, Marie Miller of Butler, Nancy Trimbur of Chino, CA and Dorothy Osche of Bernville; a sister-in-law, Rose Moore of Hooker, as well as a number of nieces and nephews. 

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her son, Terry Moore, sisters, Ruth Landgraf and Stella “Sis” Davis, brothers, Howard and Rubert Trimbur, and a son-in-law, Richard E. “Rick” Miller.
