Maria Rimkus McLaughlin was a shining light who made each and every person in her life feel like the most special human in the world. Her hearty laugh, incessant smile, open heart and generous spirit led her to live several lifetimes in just 50 short years. She was always happy and positive, never complained, and always saw the glass completely full, even when she was sick. Maria set the standard on how to live life with pure joy and she loved unconditionally. She is missed by so many, but she will always hold a place in our hearts. Maria left her strong, and indelible mark all over the world. Her lasting legacy lives on through her twins Max and Nico.
