Barbara J. Simpson

Barbara J. Simpson, 56, of Monroeville, Indiana passed away Thursday, December 1, 2022, at Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne, Indiana following an outpatient surgical procedure on October 25, 2022 at another facility.

She was born on December 22, 1965, in Fort Wayne, Indiana to the late William Reynolds and the late Beverly (Woodruff) Reynolds.

Barb was united in marriage to David W. Simpson on July 7, 2007 and he survives.

She graduated from Heritage High School class of 1984.

Barb was employed by the Fort Wayne Community Schools as a bus driver

Barb was very focused on her family. She especially loved her grandchildren…and children in general. She shared that love by her actions in her bus and on her bus route. In her “spare” time she also valued her time spent on the semi-annual visit to Panama City Beach in Florida. When not at the beach surrounded by water, she was able to still enjoy the water by lounging at her pool. She was also the consummate animal lover, especially Kennedy, her ornery Yorkie. She was also interested in exercise, spending much of her time shopping to achieve her goals. She also valued the time spent with her friends sharing their time together.

Survivors include her husband, David W. Simpson of Monroeville, Indiana; two sons, Tucker (Katelyn) Reynolds of Monroeville, Indiana and Joey (Dominique) Simpson of Bluffton, Indiana; daughter, Andi Simpson of Bluffton, Indiana; sister, Diane (Jerry) Ragsdale of Osceola, Indiana; and eight grandchildren:, Gunner Reynolds, Marissa Simpson, JJ Simpson, Emmitt Simpson, Remington Simpson, Dylan Chandler, Thia Simpson, and Kaiya Stakelbeck
