of Guy, AR
February 15, 1925 - December 8, 2018
Marjorie Adele Glover Rimmer, age 93, of Guy, Arkansas, went to meet her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Saturday, December 08, 2018. Born February 15, 1925, in Guy, to the late Carroll, Sr. and Elva Battles Glover, she was a pillar of the Guy community and long time and faithful member of Mt. Olive Baptist Church. She was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star where she served as Worthy Matron of the Damascus Chapter and Grand Lecturer of the Grand Chapter of Arkansas.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband of 51 years, Eulon ''Boots'' Rimmer; five brothers, Carroll, Jr., Truman, Chuck, Joe, and Max Glover; two sisters, Virginia Pratt and Pollyanna Presley; son-in law, Gary Burrows; and great grandson, Samuel Burrows.
She is survived by her son and daughter-in law, Johnny and Sharon Rimmer; daughters, Reita Rimmer and Donna Burrows; grandsons, Gary (Stacy) Rimmer, Shane (Sarah) Burrows, Kyle (Tina) Rimmer, and Marc (Leslie) Burrows; granddaughter, Kimberly Wilson; great grandchildren, Desiree (Chris) Wait, Dallas Linker, Austin Rimmer, Tyler Linker, Brandon Thorn, Bradley Thorn, Payton Burrows, Dylan Aldridge, Alayna Rimmer, Jaylin Wilson, Tatum Burrows, Grey Burrows, Spencer Burrows, and Addie Burrows; sisters-in-law, Dorotha Glover, Franz Horton, and Janice Cooley; and countless family and friends.
Commonly referred to as Ma, her wisdom and kindness were bestowed upon many. Ma loved fiercely, forgave unconditionally, served faithfully, and gave generously. Her strength was unshakeable and faith was unwavering. A shining example of the Proverbs 31 woman, she was the matriarch of the family. Ma found great joy in gardening, quilting, and cooking for her family. Her love of gardening, cooking, and family intersected in the summer as she prepared Sunday dinners for her family with the vegetables from her garden. She made quilts for all of her great grandchildren to cherish, even finishing the last one the week prior to her passing. Her biscuits, rolls, and hot jelly were unrivaled and favorites among her grandchildren. She was the greatest supporter of her family, cheering for her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren at baseball, basketball, and softball games; school and musical performances; and life in general.
Her grandsons and great grandsons will serve as pall bearers.
Visitation will be Wednesday, December 12, 2018, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm, and the funeral service will be Thursday, December 13, 2018, at 2:00 pm. Both will be held at Mt. Olive Baptist Church in Guy.
''Well done, good and faithful servant.'' Well done.
What an amazing woman of faith and a beautiful description of her. An example to others of what a servant heart looks like. Although I didn’t know her, I am proud to be distantly related to this family.
Wishing you all every blessing and comfort in the loss of Ma. What a fine lady! I know some of y'all because you have come back to N.C. to join us at Rimmer Reunions. And fondly recall meeting you in Statesville 10 years ago. God bless, and we'd love to see you again. Your 3rd cousin, back to Person County NC.
Condolences to the family. It has been many years since I had seen Marjorie, but I have fond memories of her from my childhood. May the God of all Comfort bring you peace.

To all Marjorie’s families, we are so sorry for your loss, our prayers are with all of you. God bless all of you.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Mrs. Margie is such a sweetheart! I always got a hug and a big smile every time I saw her. She loved to share her love of quilting with me and let me borrow pieces for a cathedral windows quilt so I could learn how to make the blocks. She and my mother share a birthday, February 15 (different years), and always sent each other cards. She will be greatly missed! May God give you comfort and peace as only He can!
