July 21, 1938 --- February 10, 2017

Roberta Kay Simon, known as Robbie or even Bert in her younger years, went to be with our Lord the morning of Feb. 10, 2017. She was born on July 21, 1938 in Los Angeles, Calif. to Robert (Bob) and Alice Murray. Robbie was a high school graduate of Vernon Consolidated outside of Renwick, Iowa and attended Business College in Des Moines. She worked as a secretary in Washington DC and the midwest before heading out to California. She met her future husband W. Robert Simon there and they settled in San Jose. Robbie worked for Kaiser Permanente for many years before she and Bob retired to Auburn, Calif. Robbie was always a joyful, outgoing and social person. She loved her friends, family, music, gardening, and her church. Being with her and hearing her laugh was uplifting for all who knew her. She will be greatly missed. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband and two sisters. She is survived by two sisters; Patricia of Modesto, Calif. and Jean of Portland, Oregon; brother Richard of Hudson, Florida; a niece Jennifer of Indianapolis, Indiana and a nephew Benjamin of Elgin, Illinois. A Memorial Service celebrating her earthly life will be held at 2 p.m. on Thursday, March 2 at Pioneer United Methodist Church. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Our Savior Lutheran Church toward a memorial fund in Robbie's name.
