Agnes Simony, 92, departed this life peacefully at home on April 28 2021. She was preceded in death by her husband of 69 years, Edward, son Michael Simony, her parents Peter and Minnie Joxen, sisters Thelma Joxen and Eleanor Hill, and her brother and sisters-in-law, Anthony (Marie), George (Genevieve), Jack (Peggy), John (Daphne), Catherine Simony, and Ben Hill.
Leaving behind to cherish her memory are her sons James Sr. (Marilyn) and Paul (Tara) Simony, five grandchildren Jim (Jackie), Don (Tiffany) Simony, Gina (Nick) Holley, Diane (Ryan) Shaw and Ann Simony, thirteen great-grandchildren, Blake, Katie, Brandon, Bryce, Derek, Dominic, Eric, Julia, and Jake Simony; Jace, Carson, and Cade Holley; and Jack Shaw. Agnes also leaves behind her nieces and nephews.
Agnes considered herself a homemaker, but she also worked in various food service positions over the years including Kress, District 60 and PCC food service, and the old Bonanza Steak House. She was also a longtime member of the Shrine of St. Therese Catholic Church.
Our family would like to thank Agnes’ caregivers Beatrice and Ashley Ruiz, Roberta Trujillo, and Mercedis and Rebeca Bachicha. For the past seven years, they lovingly cared for Agnes. After Edward’s death, they also included her in their own family’s activities. They not only enriched her daily life, but made it possible for her to stay in the comfort of her own home. During Agnes’ last week, they provided her with patient and loving attention, easing the burden on Jim. He will be forever grateful for them.
Funeral service will be held on Friday May 7 at 10am at the Shrine of St. Therese Catholic Church.
