Emma D. Nivins Ammons Simmons was the best mother I could have wished for. An excellent cook, she saw that I was well nourished. A local model, she saw that I learned proper comportment. A kind and gentle woman, she taught me the Golden Rule. But she was nobody's pushover; she gave as good as she got! And I try to emulate her in that respect, too. Raised as a Christian, she saw that I was so raised as well. And as a Christian, I know she rests in Heavenly comfort in the arms of Jesus Christ....

"TRUST in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him. He shall direct your path." Proverbs 3:5-6
Mother Emma D. Ammons Simmons and I shared this favorite scripture along with our Love for God, Family and Church. Mother Emma D. was LOVE in Action 24/7/365 days a year. "Mission was her other name" because she was always Taking Care of or doing for someone. I could never understand how she could get everywhere and Do everything...

I want to thank my Granny for teaching me Jesus! Watching her on her knees for so long each night, I often wondered, why has she got so much to say to God? Now I know it was all the names of all her children and loved ones!

My ever loving grandmother I will miss you so so much but I know you’re with God now no more suffering for that I’m truly grateful I love you Rest In Peace Granny your ever loving granddaughter Tina

My condolences to the Simmons Family. Mrs Emma D Simmons made everyone feel loved. She loved God, her Family, the AME Church and the Women's Missionary Society. She will be missed by everyone that knew her.
