My Mother. Always there for a talk. Always there with a smile. Always there with a loud laugh. Always willing to play a sport. And always there for everyone in good and bad times. 
She would listen. Share a shoulder. Give a great hug.  No judgement. 
Always. Everyday. No Fail. 

Mom used to scratch all the kid’s backs every night before we fell asleep. This was her one-on-one time with each child, no matter your age.   When I was young it was always the time I’d come clean on what bad things I did and said that day - sometimes, sadly, even to her.   Because of the little stinker I was, she taught me a prayer that I still say to this day and prayed at night with her up till her last days. 

Dear Lord, You are ushering in another day completely new and fresh. 
So here I come to ask you Lord if you will renew me to. 
Please forgive the many errors I made today. 
And help me to walk closer in Thy way. 
But I realize I can’t make it on my own Dear Lord. 
So take my hand and hold me tight. 
For I cannot walk alone.

Mom, you are forever in my mind, heart and soul.  I will live by your example because every day will remind me that you were with me in life. Always by, and on, my side.

I am blessed to have had you for 58 years.  You were the best Mom. Thank you.  I love you.


Ann will always have a special place in my heart. I feel like I've known her for ever. My beauty shop will not be the same without her laughter and beautiful smile. She loved her family so much. My prayers are with you.
Love you all,
Kathleen 

Mrs. Simmons (I never called her Ann) was the sweetest soul.  I was 9 years old when Becky and I became friends and will never forget the "Hi Sue!" greeting (in a Texas drawl) when I came to visit.  She was mom to all the kids in the neighborhood and took our teenage shenanigans as just that.  She made the most amazing chocolate chip cookies.  Feeling blessed to have so many wonderful memories.  Love and hugs to all in the Simmons family.    Sue  

Aunt Ann was such a beautiful woman inside and out. Her love and concern for family was a constant. She will be dearly missed. 

Ann and Bob were the best neighbors we ever had. Both were very kind and thoughtful of everyone. We spent many New Years Eves at our house and played rob your neighbor
 With many laughs. We had to make sure Bob always ended up with a package of m and m's chocolates. What good times with noise makers and goofy hats. We miss stories byBob and the laughter of Ann. We are praying for the family.

 


She was the most gracious and loving person I know. I will miss her dearly. REP with all who await you in heaven   

This beautiful woman was my Aunt and a second Mother to me. She so loved her family and I was blessed to be family. She was always such a bright spot for us all! We were always welcome at her home. The love she had for Uncle Bob is now full circle and they are together for eternity. Godspeed, Aunt Ann. 
Love,  
Margaret Ann (She was my name sake 🥰)

Your Mom, Aunt Ann to me, was a very special person. Trisha and I had the pleasure of taking three trips to visit them during the past 10 years. She treated me like I was one of her sons. On one of those trips, I learned one thing do not play Wii bowling with Ann. She quickly took control of the game and put distance between the three of us. I can still hear her laughter as she claimed victory. Your mom was a very special lady and I will miss her. There will be many trips down memory lane. I am so sorry for your loss, she was a special person in Trisha’s and my life. Rick

God bless Ann and her entire family.  She was a great person, fun loving, an enduring sense of humor and made lasting impression on all her knew her.  Love you Ann!  💙❤️💜
