Ronnie C. Simpson, age 89, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on March 16, 2025, in Joplin, Missouri. Born on November 10, 1935, in San Angelo, Texas, Ronnie proudly carried his Texas roots wherever he went.
He is survived by his devoted wife of 66 years, Marilyn Simpson, and their four cherished children: Tim Simpson, Jana Bennett (Cliff), and Nancy Williams (Anthony), all of Omaha, Nebraska, and Sarah Carrender (Trent) of Springdale, Arkansas. Ronnie was also blessed with 14 grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren, all of whom loved him dearly. Additionally, he is survived by his sister, Paula Sue Middleton of Henderson, KY.

Plant a tree: How does it work
When your purchase is complete, a post will be made on the tribute wall of the deceased signifying the planting of a memorial tree.
An official certificate recognizing your purchase will be included with your email receipt. You can then forward the email to the family or print it and give it to them personally.
After an order is placed, our forestry partners will plant the tree in the area of greatest need (nearest the funeral home), according to the planting schedule for the year.
Due to seasonal conditions, the tree planting takes place during the spring and summer.
