Marion Irene Rinehimer

The book of Job declared " the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord." Marion Irene Rinehimer, age 91, moved into her Heavenly home on Wednesday, July 13, 2022 at Loris Rehab under the care of McLeod Hospice of The Pee Dee in Loris, SC. Marion’s Christian faith was an essential part of her life and provided her great comfort in her final hours.

Marion was born on October 7, 1930 in Wilkes-Barre, PA, to the late Glenmore & Marion (Seeley) Keller, where she lived on the family farm in Hobby, PA, with her 3 sisters and 2 brothers. She always spoke fondly of the memories of her childhood and said, “we had such a happy home.” Marion married her loving husband, LeRoy on June 14, 1949 and they celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary before he passed away in December of 2019.

Whenever you hear someone speak of Marion, you will always hear them describe her as kind, generous, loving, selfless, classy, and well put together, a genuine lady. Marion was a woman of many talents. She was an artist, a seamstress, a baker, a fabulous cook and she always threw the best parties. She was the bookkeeper for her husband’s Garage & Auto repair business until they retired in 1987. She also ran a home daycare for many years, in their Meadowood home in Newark, DE. She loved camping in their many travel trailers, all of which she & her husband purchased as is and totally remodeled. One of their favorite spots to camp, was Pirateland, in Myrtle Beach, SC. They eventually moved to Myrtle Beach in 1995. But her greatest love and most fulfilling role was that of Mother, Grandmother, Great grandmother, and Great-great grandmother.

In a joyous reunion, Marion joined her many angels in heaven. In addition to her parents and husband she was predeceased by her daughter Linda Muto and Son-in-law Malcolm Muto, grandson Andrew Deramo, sister Glenda Brick and brother Ronald Keller.

She is survived by her daughter Terry LaRock (Mark) of The Villages, FL., Wanda Louhoff (Rodney) of Myrtle Beach, SC., Granddaughter Melanie Markel (Robert) of Punta Gorda, FL., Danielle Weber (Steve) of Port Charlotte, FL., Brittany Bronk (Ebon) of Myrtle Beach, SC. 5 great grandchildren, Brianna, Collin, Brandon, Taylor and Amelia, and 3 great-great grandchildren Ivy, Everlee and Blakesly, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude for the compassion and care provided by Loris Rehab and Nursing Center and McLeod Hospice of The Pee Dee in Loris, SC.
