Waynesley Paul Simon Sr.'s Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Waynesley Paul Simon, Sr., age 65, of Georgetown, Delaware, on Sunday, November 10, 2024. Born on June 22, 1959, in La Mango Village, St. Joseph, Trinidad and Tobago, he was the son of Stanley Simon and the late Betty Rampersad Simon.
Waynesley proudly served his country as a United States Army veteran. After his military service, he dedicated many years to the poultry industry, working at Mountaire and Perdue. Later, he worked as a counselor at DGS in Lewes, Delaware, where he made a lasting impact on the lives of those he helped. His devotion to others was evident in both his professional and personal life.
A man of faith, Waynesley attended Kingdom Hall. In his free time, he enjoyed fishing, cooking, and watching football—particularly cheering on the Dallas Cowboys. He was a social soul who loved spending time with his family and friends, and his kind heart, infectious smile, and warm presence will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Waynesley is survived by his beloved wife of many years, Vereta P. Simon of Georgetown, DE; three children: Waynesley Simon, Jr. of Milton, DE; Candisann Simon of Georgetown, DE; and Clinton Simon (Von Marie) of Laurel, DE. He also leaves behind four siblings: Robert Simon of Houston, TX; Grenda Cirwithian (Ronierre) of Lincoln, DE; Tara Jean Cornish (Vernon) of Salisbury, MD; and Tarie Simon of Trinidad.
Waynesley was the proud grandfather of three grandchildren: Olivia Rae Simon, Giovanni Simon, , and Alexander Sanabria. He was preceded in death by his brother, Clinton Simon, and two grandchildren: Shayna-Rae Simon and Kristopher Simon. In addition to his immediate family, Waynesley is survived by many nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends who will all feel the loss of his gentle spirit.
Waynesley’s legacy of love, service, and generosity will continue to live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know him.
Services will be private.
