| Today's News-Herald, Lake Havasu City, AZ >>> Published on Thursday, February 9, 2017 <<< Polly Simpson, 95, of Lake Havasu City, entered Heaven on Jan. 30, 2017. She was born to Print and Gertrude Jordan on May 28, 1921 on their farm in Desarc, Arkansas. At a very young age, Polly learned to cook for her family of 11 and worked the fields of the farm to assist in their support. She once bragged that she had picked 99 pounds of cotton in one day. Polly was raised in a Christian family and learned to love and or help anyone who crossed her path. At 19, she moved to Long Beach, California, where she and two cousins opened up a pie and café business. Soon, one of her best customers, Ralph, became her beloved husband of 54 years. They married six weeks after their first meeting. Staying in the Long Beach, California area, five years later, she gave birth to their only child, Jimmy K. Simpson, in October 1946. Coming to Lake Havasu City in 2007, Polly lived the remainder of her life with family and the last four years at “Home Is Where the Heart Is” with her many dear friends and loving caregivers. Polly was a warm, caring person who was loved by everyone she met through just a smile. She will be deeply missed. Remember, if you loved her, she loved you first. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Ralph (Bud) Simpson, six brothers, two sisters, and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. Polly is survived by her son, Jim Simpson; grandchildren Randy Simpson and Wendy Ramos; great-grandchildren Monique Tressel, Megg and Kade King; and great-great-grandson, Thadius Ralph Tressel. Our family deeply thanks “Home Is Where the Heart is” and its professional staff of loving caregivers who treated Polly as if she was their own. Also to Hospice of Havasu for compassion and professional services. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to “Home Is Where the Heart Is.” Services were placed in the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home. Thoughts and condolences can be made to the Simpson family at www.lietz-frazefuneralhome.com. |
