Penny Simcoe, in her 65th year of the Chippewas of Rama First Nation, passed peacefully on July 19, 2018 in her home, surrounded by her loved ones and embraced on the other side by her husband Philip Simcoe (deceased in 1977), Mother Kathleen Rose (deceased in 2003), Son Joshua Simcoe (deceased in 2010) and Granddaughter Mariah Simcoe-Dawson (deceased in 2011).
Penny leaves behind her children, Mandy Berard, Sparrow Rose (Dino Sferrazza) and Ronnie Benson (Sara Kelly), daughter in law Jeanna Dawson, grandchildren Madilynn Berard, Skyanne Berard, Kayndra Simcoe-Dawson, Kashus Benson and Kosta Benson, her sisters Vicki Noganosh (Rodney) and Sonia Pigeau (Mike), father Peter Rose, many nieces and nephews and her good friends, especially Tina Rowe.
Penny will always be remembered as having a big heart and free spirited. She was full of love and was tough as nails! She loved to ride her Harley and spoil her grandchildren!
As a former Social Worker, she was passionate and dedicated to helping others and will be fondly remembered by the people whose lives she changed for the better.
Penny will remain at home surrounded by those that loved her until cremation.
