Obituary

Age 89, Lawton - Graveside service will be 10:30 AM Monday in the Highland Cemetery with Rev. Don Barnes, Pastor, First Assembly of God, officiating. Mrs. Simpson died Thursday at her home. Burial will be under the direction of the Becker Funeral Home. The family will receive friends from 6:00 - 7:00 PM Sunday at the funeral home. She was born on July 9, 1919 in Baird, Oklahoma to Walter Fred and Mattie A. Reiser. She grew up in the Walters area before the family moved to Lawton in the mid 20's. She attended Washington Elementary School and Lawton Jr. and Sr. High Schools. She married Edwin Henry Simpson on November 23, 1935 in Duncan. He passed away on May 8, 1987. She was a member of the Lawton First Assembly of God for many years. She was also a member since 1942 of the Order of the Eastern Star, OSA Chapter #514, until ill health restricted her activities. In the 40's and 50's, she traveled widely about the nation because of her husband's military career during World War II. During the 60's, she traveled with her husband to Germany, with tours to France and England. Mrs. Simpson earned her pilot's license in 1950, in a time when ladies in the cockpit was an unfashionable concept. Survivors include her sons, Milton Simpson, Fred Simpson and his wife, Jeanette, all of Lawton, David Russell Simpson of Oklahoma City, Eddie Simpson and his wife, Dawn, of Moore, Andy Simpson and his wife, Theresa, of Selna, Texas, and Steve Simpson and his wife, Jean, of Glendale, Missouri; 13 grandchildren and great grandchildren; and a sister, Doris Arnold of Chickasha. Her husband, a son, David, and a sister, Bessie Birdsong, preceded her in death.
