Family was the meaning of life for Simone and she loved having family around.

Simone worked various jobs throughout her life and was the ever-present home keeper, host, meal maker and caregiver for all in her family. She was the type of person that never met a stranger.

In later years Simone was always accompanied in her home by her "best friend dog" Winston. They enjoyed each other's company immensely.

Simone loved playing slot machines and was unnaturally lucky. She attended many bus trips to casinos with friends in the area and loved to go to local casinos with her kids. She usually was the only family member that won. We never figured out how.
