Obituary For Ms. Deloris Pearl Sims

DELORIS PEARL SIMS age 78, “LOIS” as she was affectionately called, transitioned from life temporal to life eternal on Thursday, September 19, 2024. Deloris, the eighth of fourteen children, was born in Port St Joe, FL on August 8, 1947, to the late Mr. Daniel & Mrs. Annie Lee Sims Sr. She joined the Thompson Temple First Born Holiness Church of Port St Joe, FL at an early age until she moved away. She was a graduate of Washington High School…. Class of 1966. She was a loving, kind, and gentle person who now rejoices in the promises of God’s love, joy, and peace. In His mercy turned the darkness of death into the dawn of a new life, and the sorrow of parting into the joy of Heaven; through our Savior Jesus Christ, who died, rose again, and lives forevermore. Amen.
