SIMS Kilpatrick Funeral Home West Monroe, LA Funeral services for Mrs. Shirley L.

Interment will follow in the Mt Zion Cemetery in Calhoun under the direction of the Kilpatrick Funeral Home of West Monroe. Mrs. Sims was born March 25th, 1938, in Oklaunion, TX, and went home to be with her Lord on Saturday, January 31, 2009, following a lengthy illness. One of the founding members of her church, she was also a former church secretary and song leader. Decades of pain from rheumatoid arthritis did not dim her love for God or her faith in Him. Her sweet spirit and smile will be sorely missed. Preceding her in death were her parents, T.F. and Hattie Minchey Doyle, three brothers, and six sisters. She is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 53 years, James "Jimmy" D. Sims; 4 sons, James "Peckles" Sims, Steven Ray Sims and wife, Kathy, Ronald Wayne Sims and wife, Rachel, and Larry Glen Sims; 9 grandchildren; 5 great grandchildren; 2 sisters, Olga Hall and Billie Hall, both of Vernon, TX; a special niece, Linda Joyce Martin of Vernon, TX; and numerous nieces and nephews.
