Patricia L. Simon 1943-2026

Pat was born Dec. 28, 1943, in Youngstown, the daughter of Frank B. and Eva Doumont Martin.

Pat retired in 2007 as a registered nurse after working at St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital.

She was a member of Queen of Heaven Catholic Church in McDonald and had done volunteer work for Hospice. Pat enjoyed sewing, camping and crafts, but her greatest joy was time spent with her grandchildren.

Pat also spent several years as the co-leader of Girl Scout troop #223 in McDonald, alongside Charlene McCracken, where they had successfully helped fundraise for over two years in order to take the girls on a three-week tour of Europe.

She leaves to cherish her memory, her children, Lisa (Ron) Pratt of McDonald, Linda Hunt of Liberty Township and James M. Simon of McDonald; her sister Wanda (Joe) Simon of McDonald; her grandchildren, Cody (Kassie) Hunt, Dylan Hunt, Abby (Luke) Swauger and Emily (fiancee, Josh Vincent) Pratt; along with brother-in-law, Mike (Rita) Simon.

Besides her parents, she is preceded in death by her loving husband, James E. Simon, whom she married Oct. 21, 1967, and who died March 25, 2020.

Friends and family will gather for visitation 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday, June 7, at Blackstone Funeral Home in Girard. Additional visitation will be 9 to 10 a.m. Monday, June 8, at the funeral home, with a Mass of Christian Burial to follow at 10:30 a.m. at Queen of Heaven Catholic Parish in McDonald.

The family is hosting a luncheon in the Queen of Heaven Parish hall after services Monday. All are welcome to attend.

She will be laid to rest in Resurrection Cemetery next to her husband.

Per Pat’s wishes, any memorial contributions in her memory can be made to Hospice House, 9803 Sharrott Road, Youngstown, OH 44514.
