Mary (Semsick) Simon, 94, of Indiana, died Monday, May 8, 2023 at Beacon Ridge Skilled Nursing Facility in Indiana, PA, alongside her son and granddaughter.
The daughter of Walter and Exie (Bagley) Semsick, she was born November 15, 1928, in Indiana.
Mary was a woman of great faith and lived her life serving God proudly. Mary could be found in her church pew every Sunday, exquisitely dressed in matching suits, jewelry and her signature hats. She took great pride in taking care of herself and always being fashionable.
Loving to entertain her family and close friends, Mary had a knack for preparing meals that were individually tailored to each of her guests. After the meal, Mary was a board game enthusiast and stayed up late into the night laughing and making memories playing Uno, Aggravation, Racko and more. The memory of her game nights will be in the hearts of her family and friends for a lifetime.
Mary is preceded in death by her loving husband, Arnold S. Simon, who secured his place in heaven after 60 years of marriage. She and Arnold had one child, Sidney A. Simon (wife Leslie A Simon, deceased), one grandchild, Chanel N. Simon (fiance Kevin M. McGowan) and one great-grandchild, Kai C. Ludwig.
Mary was fortunate to have many nieces & nephews: Brenda, Ken, Shavonne, Jason, Chase, Dennis, Cheryl, Shawn, Carrie, Wade, Nathan, Eric, Craig, Beth, Kaylie, Sherry, Terry, Crystal, Dave, Terry, Zach, Josh, Laura, William (Stubby), Lucie, Edward (Trigger), Rodney, Mary, Brandon, Natalie, Mike, Tom, Louie and Maxine, Elder Stanford Webb II, Rodney Webb, Stanford Webb III, Lynda, Joseph, Judi, and Brandi among several others.
Mary was preceded in death by her parents; brothers Peck, John, Jim, Bill, Bobe, Jack, and Bob; and sisters May, Margaret, Martha and Mid.
