Diane L. Simpson-Jones, 62, of Punta Gorda, FL went to be with our Lord on November 24, 2019. She was born August 6, 1957 in Northport, Alabama. She was an outdoor girl who loved fishing and hunting. From the age of 12-20, she competed in the All-Girls Rodeo throughout Florida. Gardening was also her passion. For 30 years, she was a property appraiser for Charlotte County.
Words will not wipe away our tears and hugs may not ease all of our pain. But, hold on to your memories of her because forever, they will remain. We will all benefit from knowing her strength and beauty in life. May she rest peacefully in the arms of Jesus.
She is survived by her husband, Frankie Jones, her mother, Anne Brown Simpson, her brother, Randy (Toni) Simpson, daughter, Jody Litton and Aunt Deborah Poloson.
