Ethel C. Simonds Obituary
It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Family and friends must say goodbye to their beloved Ethel C. Simonds (Theresa, New York), who passed away at the age of 99, on January 31, 2026. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Ethel C. Simonds to show support.
As we bid Ethel farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Ethel is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
