Jewell M. Simons

On June 30, 2022, Jewell Margaret Simons, 96, passed away peacefully in Casper, WY, at the Central Wyoming Hospice & Transitions facility.

Jewell was born March 10, 1926, in Centerville, Texas, to Emmet and Dora Williams. On March 30, 1954, she married Eugene Victor Simons (Gene), and they were married for 57 years! They raised four children in Texas, California, Canada, and mainly in Casper, Wyoming.

Mom was a tiny lady with a huge and very spirited personality! She had a true passion for southern-style cooking and for her wonderous flower and petrified wood gardens. Her favorite love with the family was camping and stream fishing. She took every opportunity to rock hunt and managed to always find beautiful arrow heads and fossils on most every outing. Beach-combing for seashells was also a favorite hobby, and she even tolerated sailing… Gene's passion! She loved and had an uncanny way with all animals and birds. Back in the day, she loved playing golf and tennis.

Through thick and thin, at home and in nursing homes, Mom was there for Dad until he passed away. She packed lunches and dinners for him, and without fail, walked, rode the bus, or took whatever means possible, to see him. They both were loved and will be missed by family and friends.

Jewell was preceded in death by her husband, Eugene, her mom and dad, two sisters and two brothers. She is survived by her four children, four grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren: Linda (daughter), her husband, Steve, and their children: Todd and wife, Cristina, and their children: Clayton, Isabella, Hunter, Preston and Giovanni; Jere and his son, Landon; Alan and his wife, Misty, and their children Liam and Violet; Jeffrey (son); Stephen (son), his wife, Jodell, and their son, Clay; and Julianne (daughter).

The Simons Family sends special thanks and much gratitude to Mercedes and her entire and wonderful staff at Garden Square Assisted Living; and Rachael, her Case Manager. You treated Jewell with loving care and respect, and you always made her feel so special. She loved it when you complimented her on her beautiful long, white hair. You stayed with her 24/7 at WY Hospice until family could arrive at the facility – Remarkable! We will forever be grateful for the amazing care you provided her the past five years. She enjoyed her life at Garden Square and loved you all!

We extend special thanks and much gratitude to the staff at Central Wyoming Hospice & Transitions. In her final week, you provided her with round-the-clock care, love, dignity, and peace. Over the past months, Mom loved the company and conversations with the compassionate volunteers, Dasa and Natalie, with the Transitions Program.

Thank you to all the family and friends who assisted when help was needed, visited, prayed, and those who simply cared about Jewell and Gene throughout many years. It was always appreciated by them and our family.

No services will be held, however; the family is planning at a later date, Jewell's and Gene's ashes will be spread in a serene Wyoming mountain and stream setting.

God Bless Mom and Dad and You All!!
