Paula Jean Simpson, 65, passed away peacefully with her family by her side on Tuesday, December 27, 2022, in Burlington, KY. She was born the daughter of the late Raymond and Dorothy Simpson on July 10, 1957, in Covington, KY.
Paula grew up in a large family, being one of twelve children. She was a graduate of Boone County High School. Paula was a kind soul who loved others and was always willing to help someone in need. She was compassionate, very funny, always making people laugh. Paula had a strong, motherly instinct, not only for her children but for others in her family. She enjoyed watching her UK wildcats, Cincinnati Bengals and even the Cincinnati Reds play ball. She had a love for consignment shopping. If there was a deal or a bargain, Paula would find it. Although she loved to shop, her greatest love was for her Lord and savior and grandchildren. She loved her grandchildren more than anything and enjoyed watching them grow and taking care of them. Even though Paula fought a long, hard battle with cancer, her faith in God never wavered.
Preceding Paula in death are her parents and two brothers, Ronald Simpson and Ralph “Rusty” Simpson: one brother-in-law, Ed Herdman.
Those left here to carry on her legacy are her partner and companion, Rennie Asher, children, Billy (Audra) Simpson, Amber (David) Vandiver, Stephanie Simpson; Step- daughter De Asher; nine grandchildren; two step-grandchildren; three step great-grandchildren; siblings, Raymond (Sandy) Simpson, Michael Simpson, Diane (Mike) McLaren, Debbie Reineke (Kelly Ryan), Kathy Herdman, Kenneth (Marilyn) Simpson, Kim (Mike) Milner, Tina (Rick) Longhauser, Tracy Sebastian; many nieces and nephews and extended family. Paula also leaves behind her two four legged companions, cats, Blackie and Elvis who will miss her beyond measure.
In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy may be made in Paula’s name to the American Cancer Society.

Paula was a truly gentle soul. She was absolutely good to everyone. She had a wonderful sense of humor.
She fought cancer harder than most and endured so much. Rennie stood with her through everything. They were true soulmates and had a great love for each other.
My heart goes out to Rennie and all of their children, grandchildren and extended family. It is an honor being her sister in law.
Paula was a true diamond in her family. She was true and shined bright here on earth.
She’s in God’s loving care now, written in the book of life and I look forward to seeing her in paradise earth!
Paula came to visit Ronny before he passed away. He was so happy to see her. She’s one of a very few he truly enjoyed seeing. Toward the end Ronny rejected most visitors but he was very happy to see Paula.
For the family
Sending prayers to the family and friends
