Margaret Anne Cimino, a homemaker, died Thursday at Stella Maris Hospice in Timonium after almost five years battling breast cancer. She was 59.
Born in Baltimore and raised in Lansdowne, Mrs. Cimino was above all a loving mother and wife, said her husband, John E. Cimino Jr., but she didn't hide her other passions, which included the Ravens, the Beatles and her two Yorkshire terriers.
After her diagnosis, she took part in walk-a-thons to raise awareness of breast cancer and the need for further research, said her husband, with whom she lived in Hamilton.
Mrs. Cimino spent her adult life in Hamilton, where she raised three children from her first marriage, to Harold Oswald, which ended in divorce.
"She had three kids and I had three kids," said Mr. Cimino, whom she married in 1998. "We're like the Brady Bunch."
A member of the Baltimore Ravens' Roost 50 fan club, Mrs. Cimino helped to raise money for various charities through the club, but was, like many people, disappointed in her favorite team's performance last season. "She was not happy at all, I can tell you that," her husband said.
Services will be held at 10 a.m. tomorrow at St. Michael the Archangel Parish, 2 Willow Ave. in Overlea.
She is survived by a son, Brian Oswald of Baltimore; twin daughters, Nicole Lauer of Baltimore and Natalie Berger of Salt Lake City; two stepdaughters, Bridget Cimino and Tara Cimino, both of Carney; a stepson, John E. Cimino III of Fallston; a brother, John McClaskey Jr. of Overlea; a sister, Mary Godfrey of Owings Mills; and a grandchild.
