He was also instrumental in building the church fellowship hall.
Fred retired from Federal Paper Board after forty years. A farmer at heart, he enjoyed working on his farm and for fun he liked a good round of golf. He was a fifty-year member of the Sudan Shrine.
Surviving are his loving wife, Lynda White Simmons; daughters, Kimberly (Joey) Galloway, Kelly (Poli) Barefoot and Shelly (Brad) Cheers; stepson, Scottie (Susie) Babson; eight grandchildren; nine great grandchildren; several nieces and nephews; and sister, Betty Leonard.

The family will receive friends at 1:00 PM, Saturday, August 30, prior to the Funeral Service and other times at the Simmons Home at 1000 Frederick Trail, Supply, NC.
