Shirley (Solomon) Simon
SIMON: Shirley (Solomon) Simon, age 94, of Monroeville, passed away on Sept. 15, 2022. She is survived by her children, Steven, Arlene and Barbara Simon, as well as her grandchildren, Ashley and Rachel Simon. She is predeceased by her husband, Sylvan; their daughter-in-law, Carol Simon; her brother, Herbert Solomon; his wife, Sally, and many aunts, uncles and cousins both in the U.S. and U.K. Mrs. Simon grew up in Pittsburgh, graduated from Peabody High School and after a brief secretarial career, married Sylvan “Sonny” Simon with whom she spent 69 years until he passed in 2019. Shirley took pride in the warm home she created for her family and beloved dogs, Max and Harry. Her friends, family and community knew her as sweet and warm, always enthusiastic for fun and mischief, and they loved her dearly. Starting a card club which lasted over 30 years, teaching a friend how to drive, playing mahjong and Scrabble, knitting beautiful blankets, and taking long walks with her children were just a few of the simple pleasures Shirley treasured. She was also a gracious caregiver for immediate and extended family, and for others as well, having been a volunteer at Forbes Regional Health Center for over 25 years. Her loving presence will remain in our hearts forever. Family and friends will gather at D’Alessandro Funeral Home & Crematory LTD., 4522 Butler St. Pgh., PA 15201 (Lawrenceville) on Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2022, from 11 a.m. until the time of service at 11:45. A luncheon will follow. In lieu of flowers, remembrance donations may be sent to Cure Alzheimer’s Fund. dalessandroltd.com PJC
