Margaret "Trip" Triboletti, 57, passed away peacefully, January 28, 2015, following a long hard fought battle with cancer, one that she never stopped fighting.

She also was activated at times, when her country needed her. Following the terrorist attacks on 9/11, she was activated to Operation Noble Eagle. She was also activated on border patrol in Arizona where they built the wall to prevent illegal immigration. Trip loved being in the military and was so proud to serve our country. Margaret worked for the Atlantic City Electric Company for 27 years, retiring at the end of 2013. First, she worked as a meter reader and then as a utility meter person. She was a hard worker, with an excellent work ethic. She enjoyed being outdoors, whether it was walking,bike riding, kayaking, camping or just putzing around. She appreciated all of nature and the beauty of God's creation. As a Christian, Margaret demonstrated how one successfully walks in the Lord's footsteps, by her regular and random acts of kindness to her fellow man.
