Mrs. Trimbach was born March 27, 1918, in Dayton, Ohio, to Jerome and Wilhemina Mumma. The Trimbach family moved to Morgan County in 1965.
As a child, she made many short films, making commercial clips for food and soap for Monarch films. She graduated from Butler High School in Dayton. In 1938, she married William John “Bill” Trimbach. The couple worked together in all of their businesses which included a family meat packing business, a meat market, a restaurant and a farm.

She won many ribbons for her artwork displayed at county fairs and art exhibits. She also enjoyed collecting antiques and caring for orphaned or crippled animals, including lambs, pigs and ducks.
