JIMMY DALE SIMPSON
Farrar Funeral Home

Farmerville, LA

Funeral services for Mr. Jimmy Dale Simpson, 71, of Farmerville will be at 
2:00 PM Tuesday, Sept. 22 at Evergreen Baptist Church, Bernice with Rev. Jerry 
Chapman and Rev. Charles Davis officiating. Interment will be in Evergreen 
Cemetery with Masonic rites. Arrangements are under the direction of Farrar 
Funeral Home of Farmerville.

Mr. Simpson died Sept.18, 2009. He was retired from the railroad as a 
conductor and was known to his railroad buddies as "Suitcase" due to the fact 
that he was always packed, ready and willing to go to work. He was always 
busy, never idle. Jimmy was of Baptist faith, a member of the Bernice Masonic 
Lodge #235 and owner of several businesses in Union Parish. The first thing 
one noticed about Jimmy was his beautiful blue eyes and he was known for his 
quick wit and the unique quips that he made up. He had a green thumb and 
enjoyed gardening and working in the yard, but especially enjoyed time spent 
with his grandchildren. The highlight of his week was every Tuesday going to 
the "Cook Shack", cooking and gabbing with his high school buddies. He really 
looked forward to those days. He will be missed by all who knew him.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Willie & Florence Simpson and a 
brother, Clyde Don Simpson.

Survivors are his wife, Mary Simpson of Farmerville; one daughter: Leslie 
Simpson of Farmerville; one son: Dr. Don Simpson & wife, Melissa of Malvern, 
AR; one brother: Benny Simpson & wife, Joanie of Anahuac, TX; four 
grandchildren: Zachery Chiles of Kilgore, TX, Jessica LaRoe of Farmerville; 
Zane Simpson of Malvern, AR and Bethany Simpson also of Malvern, AR; and 
numerous nieces, nephews, family and friends.

Pallbearers will be Paul Hayes, Wayne Abercrombie, Kenny Roth, James Dowdle, 
Bobby Littlefield and Ernie Hall.

Honorary pallbearers are Leon Cook, Jessie Giddens and members of the Cook 
Shack Gang.

Visitation will be from 5:00 PM until 8:00 PM Monday at Farrar Funeral Home.
