It is with heavy hearts that we announce that Dolores “Dee” Simon, 83, passed away peacefully on May 31, 2025 surrounded by her loving family. Born in Elizabeth, NJ, she spent many years in Roseland and Montville, NJ, where she raised her family and formed lifelong friendships. In her later years, she made the Tampa, Florida area her home, enjoying the warmth of the sunshine. Each place held a special chapter of her life, filled with love, family, and cherished memories.

She was the adored wife of Alan Simon; loving mother of two sons, Peter Unger and Donald Unger, Jr. (both deceased), and three daughters, Lisa Stanton, Courtney Mackin, and Nicole Culley; cherished grandmother of Matt, Katie, Brad, Jack, and Joseph; and proud great-grandmother of Jordyn and Brynn.

Dee will be remembered for her warmth, quiet strength, and deep devotion to her family. She brought love and light into the lives of all who knew her and leaves behind a legacy of kindness, grace, and generosity of spirit.

A memorial service will be held on Friday, June 20, 2025 in Sun City Center, Florida. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Dee’s memory to the American Cancer Society.
