She was a retired glass inspector with Midland Glass Company, whose employees were like family to her. During World War II, she was a certified arc welder.

She was preceded in death by her son, Thomas H. Simon Jr., in 2005.
She was a lifelong resident of Terre Haute. She enjoyed gardening, fishing and her grandchildren. She was always right, and when she wasn't she'd box you on the ears.
Services are 10 a.m. Wednesday at Mattox-Wood Funeral Home, with the Rev. Rick Ginther officiating. Burial is in Roselawn Memorial Park. Calling hours are from 4 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at the funeral home.
