Obituary for John Clifton Simpson
John Clifton “Clif” Simpson
Pisgah Forest – Clif Simpson, 86, passed away peacefully at Tores Home on Tuesday, January 14, 2014.
He was born on October 16, 1927 in Lovington, IL to the late Alex and Ethel Collins Simpson. He was also preceded in death by two brothers and two sisters-in-law.
Clif served in the U. S. Army and graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois. He married Virginia Jenne on February 3, 1952 in Sullivan, IL. He worked for the Public Service Company of Indiana at Plainfield, IN and 31.5 years for E.I. Dupont in Clinton, IA and Circleville, OH. After retirement he and Virginia moved to Pisgah Forest in 1988.
Clif enjoyed woodworking, attending classic car shows and repairing things, especially if they were a challenge. He was a member of Brevard-Davidson River Presbyterian Church where he was an elder, deacon, Sunday school teacher and a volunteer with preschool children. He volunteered for Habitat for Humanity, starting when the first store opened.
He is survived by his wife of 62 years; Virginia Jenne Simpson, sons; Scott Simpson (Sandy) of New Berlin, WI and Bradley Simpson (Pamela) of Burleson, TX, daughter; Ellen McClintock (Stan) of Shawnee, KS and six grandchildren.
The family would like to thank the staff of Tores Home #2 for their devoted kindness and care for the past 14 months and to Hospice for their help in his last few days.
A Memorial Service will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Brevard-Davidson River Presbyterian Church Music fund, 249 E. Main Street, Brevard, NC 28712 or the Habitat for Humanity, 69 Ecusta Road, Brevard, NC 28712.
