Shirley Simonson
March 26, 2020
Shirley J. Simonson, 65, passed away unexpectedly on March 26, 2020, at Mercy Hospice in Johnston surrounded by the love and comfort of her family. She was born February 11, 1955, to LeRoy and Melva Kaufman.
Shirley’s greatest joy in life was spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren, and beloved dog Bennie. Most recently she enjoyed working at Wal-Mart in Ankeny where she created special relationships with her coworkers and customers.
Shirley is survived by her loving husband of 45 years, Greg; sons, Matt (Jeni) Simonson and Brian (Krystal) Simonson; grandchildren, Brooklyn, Brogan, Bowen, Kara and Karson; as well as other loving family and many special friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, LeRoy and Melva.
Private family services will be held at Hamilton’s with burial at Highland Memory Gardens Cemetery. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date due to current world conditions.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We have so many memories of Shirley's family for the last 53 years, when we moved next door. Shirley was a wonderful babysitter for our 3 daughters. This is so hard to believe. We pray Shirley is in peace and that their family will be together again. God bless
