Ware – Anna R. Simons, 95, of Ware, passed away on Wednesday, January 22, 2025.
She leaves behind her daughter, Susan (Motyka) Imbier and her husband, William, of Ware; her son, Timothy Simons and his wife, Kimberly, of Ware; her beloved grandchildren, Elizabeth Imbier, Douglas Imbier and his wife Jamie, Sydney Thomas and her husband Peter, Samantha Myers and her husband Lawrence, Sadie Stickell and her husband Matthew; her great-grandchildren, Isabella, Jackson, Amirah, Leo, Charlotte, and Elloise; and her many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her first husband, Joseph Motyka, and then later by her second husband, Robert Simons; as well as by her daughter, Anne Motyka-Quink; by her brother, Charles Roy; by her sisters, Irene Balicki and Carole (Doiron) Gust; and by her granddaughter, Christine Imbier. She was born in Ware, daughter of the late Antonio and Ethel (Hagman) Roy.
In her early life Anna enjoyed going out polka dancing with her sister. She was a woman of faith and loved to host prayer groups in her home. She loved to cook and most importantly spend time with her family. Her family could always count on a warm hug and meal any day of the week. Her thanksgiving stuffing continues to be a staple for every holiday celebrated within her family.
Anna was the happiest when she was with her family. She loved to care for her grandchildren and was fortunate enough to spend time with her six great grandchildren. Spending time with them and watching them play, sing and dance around her was what she looked forward to most the past several years.
A Graveside service for Anna will be held privately with family in New St. William Cemetery, on Route 9 in Ware.
Charbonneau Funeral Home is honored to serve the Simons family.
