AMY SIMON Obituary

Nov. 4, 1958 - June 17, 2017 OKLAHOMA CITY With her family by her side, Amy Jo Simon went peacefully to her heavenly home on Saturday, June 17, 2017. Amy was born in Oklahoma City Nov. 4, 1958, to Amil and Betty Jo Simon. Amy was the youngest of four and was adored by her siblings, Eddie, Terry, and Sherry. She was a devoted, faithful and hardworking employee of the city of Oklahoma City for 19 years and especially loved her job working for the Police Department. In addition to being a hard worker, Amy was loyal, committed and independent in all endeavors. Her fun-loving spirit and high energy always lifted those around her. She loved her family deeply, especially her nieces and nephews. Some of her favorite things were cooking, Christmas and time spent with her beloved dogs. That big contagious smile and fun sense of humor could brighten any room. Amy was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Eddie. She is survived by brother, Terry Simon, sister, Sherry Clark and husband Dennis, all of Oklahoma City; nephews, Justin and Nathan; and niece, Angela. The family wishes to express heartfelt thanks to the many family and friends who offered prayers, cards, support and care for Amy during her short battle with cancer. A very special thank-you to Frontier Hospice and Integris Hospice House for being such an immense comfort and blessing to Amy and her family during this time. Amy will be deeply missed by her family and friends. Celebration of Life service will be held at Our Lord's Community Church, 11400 N. Portland, OKC 73120, on June 28, 2017, at 4:30 p.m. Charitable donations may be made to Oklahoma City Animal Shelter.

I was saddened to read of Amy's passing. I remember her as a waitress for The Blackeyed Pea years ago. She was quick witted, funny, and a lot of fun to work with. I worked with hundreds of wait staff over the years as a manager for BEPs and Amy was one of my favorites. She "got it" Amy made it fun to come to work. I'm sorry I lost touch with her over the years. My thoughts and prayers are with Amy and her family. Sincerely, Dan

Memories came back when reading of Amy's passing. I lived next door to the Simons from 1961-1966. Amy's older siblings Terry and Sherry and Eddie were my peers. Our family had dinner with them when Amy was about three years old. Amy Jo said the blessing and I still chuckle years later thinking how cutely she had said it. Amil grilled outdoors and offered us hotdogs. Betty had gotten braces as an adult and said they nicknamed her Braces Brown. Betty served an ethnic dish which she said had a little starter in it from previous dishes. Eddie's childhood nickname was Skipper. Wonderful neighbors over our white picket back fence.
