Ramona Simon's Obituary
Mrs. Ramona Simon “Nonie”, age 91, of Grand Haven died peacefully surrounded by family Thursday, August 10, 2023, at home. She was born May 7, 1932, in Rising Sun, Indiana to Raymond and Annabelle (McDonald) Detzel. On July 8, 1961, she married Kenneth Simon in Covington, KY.
Ramona had many interests including pets, gardening, camping, water sports, the Detroit Tigers and games of all kinds. She especially enjoyed attending football, basketball, baseball, softball, cheer competitions, and concerts to cheer on grandkids and did not miss a single event. She was a Campfire girl leader for many years. Most of all she cherished spending time with her family celebrating life’s moments big and small, every chance she got. No birthday, holiday or achievement went unrecognized. She will be greatly missed.
She is survived by her loving husband of 62 years, Kenneth; three daughters: Kathryn (Michael) Stegall, Jennifer Simon, and Nancy (Peter) McWatters all of Grand Haven; five grandchildren: Benjamin, and Sarah Stegall, Thompson, Anna, and William McWatters; sisters-in-law, Ruth Simon and Mary Detzel; and many beloved nieces and nephews.
A memorial celebration will be held 11:00 AM Friday, August 25, 2023, at The VanZantwick Chapel of Sytsema Funeral & Cremation Services, 620 Washington Ave, Grand Haven, MI 49417. Visitation will be one hour prior to the service at the funeral home. Interment will take place in Lake Forest Cemetery. Please sign the family’s online guestbook at www.sytsemafh.com.
