Mitchell Simon, a resident of St. Clair Shores, passed away on February 10, 2020 at the age of 89. A son of Mitry and Mary (nee Gennaoui), he was born on June 24, 1930 in Detroit. Mitchell attended St. Bernard High School in Detroit before working at his family's store, Simon Grocery on Mack Ave. and Leamy. He also worked as a delivery driver for Better Made Potato Chips.
Mitchell culminated an impressive collection of coins, stamps, comics, music, and newspaper clippings. Mitchell's family remembers him as a good man, and a mysterious man. He led a private, but full life. He attended Woodstock and frequently visited Cedar Point. Mitchell was kind, generous, and never wavered from his faith. He certainly loved his great niece and great nephew, and was a very charitable man to the less fortunate. Mitchell will be dearly missed.
Preceded in death by his brothers, Anthony and Joseph. Loving brother of Mary Louise (Joseph) Zainea. Cherished uncle of Leane, David, and Kathryn Zainea; and Joseph Simon. Proud great-uncle of Amelia and Simon Zainea.
Mitchell will lie in state on Friday, February 14, from 9:30 am until time of funeral Mass at 10:00 am at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church, 21620 Greater Mack Ave., St. Clair Shores, 48080.
