Menlo Park, California

Mary Evelyn Pimentel, a longtime beloved resident of Menlo Park, passed away on November 12, 2024. She was born on August 7, 1940, in Ft. Meade, Maryland.

Mary is survived by her daughter, Mary Rochelle Moglia, her son, Mark Howard Ricktor, and her five grandchildren, Peter Moglia, Benjamin Moglia, Rachel Moglia, Joseph Ricktor, and Elizabeth Ricktor, as well as her great-grandson, Henry Butler.

Mary went to work for the Menlo Park School System after raising her children at the age of 61. She worked at Laurel School, where she was affectionately known as Grandma Missy. Mary lived her true calling through her dedication and love for children, as she remained in her role until she retired at the age of 81. (And even then, she found ways to volunteer).

A memorial service will be held at Menlo Church on September 12, 2025, at 1:30 pm.
