STEPHENS CHAPEL INTERMENT: MARS HILL CEMETERY (WINSTON COUNTY) VISITATION: 10 AM TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2023 AT: JOHN E. STEPHENS CHAPEL; June Sims Nowell was born in 1936 in the Plattsburg community and lived for over 80 years in Philadelphia, Neshoba County. She is preceded in death by her parents Ardell Wells Sims and Isaac Sims, a younger infant brother and a brother Charles Sims whom she loved dearly and his son Stacy Sims. She is survived by her daughter Teresa Davis (Danny) of Clinton Mississippi, son Terry of Austin Texas, grandchildren Nikki Davis Nail (Darral) of Flowood Mississippi and Brad Davis (Brittany) of Mt. Juliet Tennessee, great-grandchildren Davis Nail, Austin Davis and Christopher Davis and her niece Millicent Lloyd (James). Her life would not have been complete without her dearest friend of 80 years, Marguerite Stuart and her most wonderful friend Simone Samuel, who provided the greatest love and help a friend could ever offer. Wilma Boswell who checked on her almost every single day, Bessie Ford, Charlotte Smith - her hairdresser and many other members of her church, North Calvary Baptist Church, and so many local friends including her favorite men from church who helped her, Buddy Bozeman, Ricky Robertson and Johnny Cook. She could never have made it these last months without - Michael Wells, Jonitra Crocket, Cotina Porter, Terrie Presnail, Sylvia Jones, Joanne Roundsville, Ann Barefield, Lucy Duncan, her nurse Emily Edwards, all the amazing nurses and people of Quality Hospice and Servants Heart Home Health, whose care is unrivaled in the healthcare field. Her greatest joys in life were visiting her son in Texas, traveling with him, visiting and shopping with her daughter, watching her grandkids and great grand kids on her iPad and baking a mile high pound cake. She had been formerly employed by Wells-Lamont, Merchant Truck Lines and Nemanco all in Neshoba County. She was an early riser, most often checking to see what birds might have also joined her at her bird feeders. Her days were not complete without listening to the 8am funeral announcements after a good dose of old-time gospel music on the Bob and Laura show from the local radio station. This was usually followed by multiple calls to friends asking if they had any further details or tidbits of info on the passing of those announced. She harbored great contempt for those who slept late, anyone who ate frozen TV dinners, and anyone who didn’t keep their hair tidy and cared for. Everything in her life and house had a place and needed to be in its place at all times. That applied, as well, to people needing to be in their proper place, whether she knew them or not. She will be greatly and forever missed by her loving children and family, never to be replaced by another.
