    A Memorial Service for Margitta M. Bibo, 68, will be held on Friday, Oct. 30, 2009, at 11 a.m. at St.     Vivian’s Catholic Church in Milan.

    Graveside services will be held afterward at Grants Memorial Park.

She was born on June 22, 1941, in Bamberg, Germany, and passed away on Oct. 25, 2009, in Grants, after a brief illness.

    She is survived by her loving companion, Pat Jaramillo; children: Philip Bibo and wife Janelle of San Mateo, Rick Bibo and wife Rena of Farmington, Jack Bibo of Milan, Anne Bibo-Hamilton of Milan, Jim Bibo and wife Trinh of Chandler, Ariz.; sister: Sonja of Bamberg, Germany; nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

    She was preceded in death by her mother and father.

    Margitta moved to New Mexico in 1961 after marrying her late husband, Phil A. Bibo.

    She will always be remembered as “Oma,” German for grandma. All the children will miss her German food and outspoken ways. She loved to cook and have everyone eat.
