Gwendolyn Price Simmons

She was born in Taft, Texas on November 9, 1952 to Bennie Gene and Bobbie Jean Washington Price.

Gwendolyn met her love, Ronald at the age of 17 and they were just shy of a couple of weeks to complete a remarkable 54 years of marriage. She made their house a home, as she decorated for Holidays and proudly embraced her role as homemaker. She was talented in decorating and could have easily been a professional interior decorator. She collected China dolls and loved potted plants. Her family affectionately remembers her as “always getting what she wanted” and it was well deserved.

She had a great love for Christ and she was a dedicated member of Greater Powerhouse COGC. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

Gwendolyn is preceded in death by her parents; sons, Christopher Simmons and Kevin Simmons; daughter, Decandice Simmons; granddaughter, Ariel Simmons.

She is survived by a family who loved her dearly; husband of 53 years, Ronald Bernard Simmons; three children, Leslie (Ermelinda) Simmons, Ronald (Katina) Simmons, Jr., Cheyenne Simmons; grandchildren, Ronald Simmons III, Decandice Simmons, Keshawne Simmons, Yulie’Anna Simmons, Eliyahu Simmons, Kevin Simmons II, Christopher Simmons, AJ Simmons, Dequayes Simmons, Anthony Simmons, Aaron Simmons and Noah Simmons; great-grandchildren, Logan Simmons, Delilah Villarreal, Adalia Villarrreal, and Marcellus Villarreal. Gwendolyn is also survived by her siblings, Barbara Waters, Bennie Gene Price, Victor Gordon Price, Billy Maverick Price Shenandoah Price and Lawson Price.
