Obituary for Catherine C Simmons
Catherine Campbell Simmons, 92, of Milton, Florida, passed away Saturday, September 22, 2018.
Catherine was born January 28, 1926, in Pensacola, Florida. She and her nine siblings lived their younger years in Pensacola, but when the girls started turning in to beautiful young teenagers, their father decided it was time to move the family to Chumuckla on his family’s farm/homestead.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Sally Slade Campbell; her husband, James Simmons; son-in-law, Christian Loyer Sr.; and a grandson, Christian Loyer Jr.
Catherine is survived by two daughters, Patsy Loyer of Milton, and Joanie (Joseph) Donlan of Pace; three grandchildren, Christiane Loyer (Thomas) Gonzalez of Ringold, Georgia, Mike Donlan of Milton, and Nathan (Jackie) Donlan of Pace; five great-grandchildren, Courteney Loyer Lee, Christian Loyer III, Mikayla Donlan, Cameron Loyer and Genevieve Gonzalez; and three sisters, Jewel Driscoll, Lois Simmons and Betty Jane Larson.
