Edward Simpson Obituary
Simpson, Edward Otis "Ted," age 92, passed away March 1, 2025. Ted liked to joke, "I was born at an early age" and "my brother is an only child". Actually, he had two older brothers who predeceased him, Donald and Norman Simpson. He was also predeceased by billions of other people, most notably his English-born parents, Elsie and Alex Simpson. Ted was born in Petersburg in December 1932, moved to Richmond in 1942, and returned to Petersburg in 1959, after a two-year stay in New York City.
Ted is survived by his wife, Marion; three daughters and their husbands, Suzanne Roberson (Dean), Keithley Duncan (Chun), and Stephanie Arnette (Roy), all living in the Richmond area. He is also survived by two wonderful grandchildren, Cameron and Keithley Arnette; his cousin, Catherine Warnock, of Petersburg; and several nieces and nephews.
