Gloria (Kane) Simons - of Peabody, peacefully entered into rest on March 24, 2023 at the age of 84 with family by her side.
She leaves behind her children Scott, Irene, Sharon, Jack, Tracy & Mark; her grandchildren Adam, Ben, Aubrie, Aly, Alex, Harry, & Julia; her sister and brother-in-law Marcia and Sandy Berens; her nieces and nephews David, Amy, Lisa, Ricky, & Danny; great nieces and nephews Jacob, Ray, Gabriel, Rebecca, Rachel, and many dear friends who are family.
Predeceased by her husband S. Murray Simons; parents Ceil (Agranat) Kane and Raymond Kane and her sister Lea Elizabeth.
After growing up in Dorchester and Milton, Gloria met Murray, her husband of 63 years on a blind date, settling in Peabody and raising their family. As their children became more independent, Gloria changed her career from being a hosiery saleswoman at Albert's in Boston to pursuing her passion as a respiratory therapist and earning her BS degree from Northeastern University. While working at Lynn Hospital for many years, Gloria caught the academia bug, went back to school to become a registered nurse, and morphed her career into creating a pulmonary rehabilitation department at a top Boston hospital.
Her free time was filled with dining out with Murray, supporting Temple Ner Tamid's Sisterhood (as President at one point), spending summers in Rockport, cruising the ocean or beaching in Aruba with Marcia and Sandy, celebrating holidays with the extended Ponn family, playing Mah-Jongg in person or online, and of course, spoiling her grandchildren.
