Carl Glyndon "Butch" Simmers

Waynesboro - Carl Glyndon "Butch" Simmers, 72, went to be with his Heavenly Father on November 1, 2019 after his battle with cancer.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, Kenneth Simmers.

He was a past governor of the Waynesboro Moose Lodge and past secretary of the Eagles #4129. His true passion in life was playing golf.

He leaves behind his devoted wife and caretaker during his illness, Carolyn Scott Simmers of 33 years; daughter, Denise Welcher; stepson, Robi Kline; sisters, LaVonne Cauthen and husband, Sid, and Glenda Kay DeWitt; brother, Dennis Wayne Simmers and wife, Eva; grandchildren, Daniel and Dalton Welcher; step grandchildren, Jeremy Wheeler and Kali Kline; and nieces, nephews, in-laws, all of his coworkers and many friends. He also leaves behind his dog, Oreo, who he loved dearly.
