It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our precious wife, mom and grandmother, Amelia Simms (May 20, 1939 – October 11, 2020). Surrounded by her loving family, Millie left us for God’s welcoming embrace on October 11th, 2020 at the John M Gray Seniors home. Meeting her with loving arms is her Mom and Dad (Caroline and Aubrey Way). Amelia met the love of her life, Willie P Simms, at the age of 16 and together they spent a lifetime of love devoted to one another. Their greatest accomplishment in life were their four children who are left to mourn with everlasting loving memories; Nadine (Glen), Deanne (Dave), Gord (Colleen) and Lisa (Curtis). In later years, Millie’s love extended to her six grandchildren who she worshipped with all her heart; Natasha, Jordan, Nathan, Heather, Shane and her baby Emily. Leaving also to mourn is her loving brother Clifton Way (Betty) and large extended Simms and Way family and cherished circle of friends. Second only to her family, Millie was very proud of her career as a Registered Nurse. She was known to her patients and colleagues for her gentle demeanor and endless compassion. She was the town walker, volunteer, and chocolate chip cookie baker extraordinaire. She loved nature and her many rides on Ski-doo with Willie P and her girlfriends. The extended Simms family would like to take this time to profess a heartfelt thank you to all Millies nurses/caregivers at the John M Gray who took care of her in her final years and provided the same tender hearted care Millie was so well known for. With Millie’s love of flowers in mind, the family will graciously accept flowers on her behalf or donations can be made to the John M Gray Seniors home. Flowers can be sent to 1A Old Peat Road, St. Anthony. A celebration of life will take place at the United Church on Wednesday October 14th at 2pm, Covid-19 regulations will be followed.
