Dorothy A. Simons' Obituary
Dorothy A. (Kunz) Simons, 88, passed away with family by her side on September 22, 2023 in Neenah, WI. Dorothy was born May 17, 1935, to Gordon and Freida Kunz in Two Rivers, WI. Dorothy married the love of her life, Donald Simons on November 24, 1956. After relocating to Oshkosh, WI, Dorothy was a stay-at-home mother to her children for many years; something she took great pride in. She worked seasonally for Miles Kimball, was an active member of Emmanuel United Church of Christ, Den Mother for Boy Scouts of America and local social clubs for ladies in her area. She loved to “go for a ride” and would ask everyone to either take her or go with her. With Don, she spent many hours in the car driving to new locations and familiar spots alike. They made frequent trips to Door County and Two Rivers, stopping at favorite spots along the way. One of Dorothy’s greatest joys was becoming a grandmother. Dorothy loved spending time with her grandchildren and was in attendance for sporting events, concerts, performances and loved being part of their birthday celebrations. Dorothy particularly enjoyed seeing her grandchildren graduate high school and college, getting married and becoming parents.
Dorothy is survived by her four children; Debra (Randy) Letarski, Vicki Simons, Dr. Christopher (Katie) Simons, Todd (Cheryl) Simons; eight grandchildren, Jake Letarski, Sarah (Marcus) Pearson, Lucas Letarski, Hayley Simons, Torgny Simons, Ian (Tori) Simons, Emily (Rigo) Reyes, Andrew (Stephanie) Simons; plus four great grandchildren, Winry, Greyson, Mia and Runa. Dorothy was preceded in death by her husband Don in 2022. While deeply saddened by our loss, Dorothy’s family is comforted knowing she and Don have been reunited. All of Dorothy’s constraints are behind her and she is restored at the hand of our Lord to rest in peace. According to Dorothy's wishes a private family service will be held and she will be laid to rest with her husband at Lake View Memorial Park.
The family would like to extend our appreciation to the hospice caretakers of Theda Clark and all of the staff at Island Shores in Neenah, WI.
Reunited, and it feels so good
Reunited 'cause we understood
There's one perfect fit
And, sugar, this one is it
We both are so excited 'cause we're reunited, hey, hey
