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.

Testimonials

My siblings and I recently had the unfortunate experience of having to plan a funeral for our beloved mother – Juana Munoz. During this difficult time, we were fortunate enough to come across a funeral home that truly went above and beyond what was expected. Their attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our comfort and safety throughout the entire process was truly remarkable. From the moment we stepped foot into the funeral home, we were greeted with warmth and compassion. The staff members, but specifically Mark was incredibly understanding and empathetic, making us feel at ease during such a challenging time. Mark took the time to listen to our needs and wishes, and his guidance and support were invaluable. One aspect that truly stood out was Mark’s meticulous attention to detail. He paid close attention to every aspect of the funeral arrangements, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. From the floral arrangements to the music selection, every detail was carefully considered and executed flawlessly. Mark even noticed that the temperature in the room was getting warm and promptly adjusted it to ensure our comfort. What impressed me the most was their commitment to our safety. Mark and his team took every precaution to ensure that our family and guests were protected throughout the entire process. From the funeral home to the cemetery, Mark made sure that all safety measures were in place, including providing hand sanitizers, and even arranging for additional staff members to assist with crowd control. Furthermore, Mark’s professionalism and organization was evident in every aspect of the funeral service. He coordinated seamlessly with the cemetery staff, ensuring a smooth transition from the funeral home to the final resting place. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence truly made a difference in our overall experience. In addition to their exceptional service, the funeral home also provided us with resources and support beyond the funeral itself. They offered grief counseling services and connected us with local support groups, which proved to be invaluable during our grieving process. Overall, we cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Mark, and broader, Draeger Langendorf team. Their attention to detail, commitment to our safety, and genuine compassion made a difficult time a little more bearable. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of funeral arrangements, as they truly go above and beyond to ensure that every detail is taken care of and that families are supported throughout . the entire process. – Epifanio and The Munoz Family
