Charlotte Maibauer Obituary

Charlotte "Char" Maibauer born October 22, 1937 in Lake City, MI, died the morning of February 4, 2011. Char was preceded in death by her childhood friend and husband of 53 years, Bob. Bob and Char moved from Michigan to Tucson in the summer of 1958 courtesy of the Air Force and made Tucson their home. Char was a mom to all things from boys to baby birds, always showing compassion for all of God's children. She will be profoundly missed and remembered as a loving and kind mother, caring friend, animal ally and Wildcat fan. Char is survived by her sons, Mike (Jacque) and Mark (Corbie); brothers, Dick, Russ and Gary Rinckey; "adopted sons" Kim Cullinan and family, Diana, Riley, Madison and Morgan and Jason Gilmore and his family, Mary and Reid. The Celebration of Life will be held at EAST LAWN PALMS CHAPEL, 5801 E. Grant Rd., Tucson 85712 on Sunday, February 13, 2011 at 3:00 p.m. with a reception following at the Maibauer home from 4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to the Tucson Humane Society.

The Maibauers were a big part of our neighborhood growing up. Always a kind word and the first to help someone. I’ll never forget the new white and gold F100 and the first trailer. We sure had a great childhood. Best to you always

My remembrances are from Char as a parent at school where I was a teacher a very long time ago. I have recipes from her that always remind me of those days. It was in the 1970's and I was in a special project at the school with another man who went on in the district. I became a "stay at home Mom" but still remember Char so well. Robby
