Mansfield, TX – Sharon Elizabeth Simms passed away peacefully on August 13, 2023 in Mansfield, Texas. She was born on March 13, 1944 in Santa Barbara, California.

She will be missed deeply by her church family of Tate Springs Baptist Church, and especially her Super Seniors Sunday school class. Sharon came to accept Jesus as the Lord of her life in January of this year.

We were only friends for a little while but I quickly came to love Sharon and her kind and loving spirit. I’m beyond happy that she accepted Jesus as the Lord of her life and now stands in His very presence.
Thank you so much. It is comforting to know Mom was surrounded by her sisters and brothers in Christ.
Thank you, Jennifer! You are a dear friend and I know you understand her journey! We walked it together!
