Racine – Earlene Sims, age 66, passed away at Ascension All Saints Hospital on Saturday, June 29, 2019.
Earlene was born in Shelby, Mississippi on April 5, 1953 to the late Grant and Belva (nee: Bell) Sims. She was baptized in faith at an early age at Old Mount Olivet Baptist Church. Earlene was employed as a teacher’s aid for Headstart and as a CNA at Lincoln Lutheran on Prospect Street.
A true people person, Earlene always had an “open door” policy at her home. She helped countless people get back on their feet in their time of need. She enjoyed hosting gatherings at her home; cooking – trying new recipes she had watched on cooking shows; and was known for her fingernail fashion. Above all, Earlene loved spending time with her entire family.
Surviving are her children, Earline “Wendy” Sims, Fredrick Lamar Sims and Kizzy Sims; grandchildren, Jeremiah Sims, Terra White, Terrell White and Terrivia Sims; 2 great-grandchildren, Ka’Liyah Snow and Ka’Varrionta Rhinehouse; sister, Minnie Jackson; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins & friends.
In addition to her parents, Earlene was preceded in death by her siblings, J.C., Willie, Beolar and Cora Sims; and brother-in-law, Tommie Jackson Sr.
