CARROLL CLYDE ‘C.C.’ SIMMONS
The family of Carroll Clyde Simmons, Jr., lovingly referred to as C.C. Simmons, announced with heavy hearts that he has gone to be with the Lord on March 3, 2022. C.C. was a loving husband of 62 years, an amazing father, and a fantastic Pawpaw. If you ever had the pleasure to meet him, you were greeted with a hug and concluded with a “God bless you.” He devoted his life to his country serving 20 years in the Navy and he retired in Millington as a Chief Petty Officer in 1975. Even though he retired, he could not stay home, he used his training and continued to work as a machinist. He then continued to serve the community with his knowledge of guns and all things handy at Jim’s Guns and Junk and Haddad’s. C.C. loved the Lord and the church and served as a deacon at Beaver Baptist Church for 10 years. If he wasn’t at church, he was in the woods hunting (a second favorite pastime), or at his computer desk playing solitaire. He leaves behind one son, Terry Simmons, of Munford, and two daughters, Bobbie Jo (Johnny) Robertson of Munford and Missy Perez of Munford. He also leaves behind seven grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his precious bride, Barbara Simmons, his daughter, Debbie Covert. His faith is now sight, praise to God, and may He receive the glory through his passing.
