Mary Helen Sims – Christopher, IL

Mary Helen Sims of Christopher, passed away on December 19, 2021, at St. Louis University Hospital in St. Louis, Mo. Mary was 50 years old.

She was born on December 16, 1971 to Carl Eugene and Cynthia Jean (Norris) of Mulkeytown, Illinois. She is survived by her wife and partner of 10 years, Michelle (Leeper) Sims of Christopher.

Mary was a bright light in the Sims family, always caring and doing for everyone with a smile on her face and a kind heart. She and Michelle worked tirelessly the past several years caring for her ailing family, as a result both Mom and Dad were able to pass peacefully at home.

She is also survived by her three brothers Glenn (Susan) Sims of St. Louis, Mo; John (Laurel) Sims of Waltonville, IL; Arlie (Robert Kokott) Sims of Chicago, IL; one sister Carla Davis Sims of Christopher, IL; step children Savannah Watts and Cory Striztel as well as many nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents and one brother, Thomas N Sims.

Mary’s friends and family who know her will not be surprised that she gave selflessly in death, by being an organ donor. Her wishes were to be cremated. There will be a memorial service celebrating Mary’s life at a later date.
