BOTHELL - Germaine was born in St. Leon, Manitoba, Canada, to Joseph and Aglae Moreau. She moved with her family to the Northwest at a very early age and eventually settled in Moxee City, Washington. As a young woman she cooked for the nuns at Holy Rosary School in Moxee. During this time, Germaine met and later married her husband of 61 years, Clyde Simon.
Germaine worked as at grocery store checker, a fruit packer and landlady of many properties that she purchased and renovated. She was a creative and fun designer of many prom dresses, grower of great gardens and canner of many many quarts of fruit and vegetables, fisher of river trout and she had a passion for writing children's stories, until all was robbed from her by the most deadly killer of dreams, Alzheimer's Disease.
After her husband's death, Germaine moved to Bothell to be near her daughters. As her memories faded away, she still brought her children together until she was certain they would always be close. She slipped away quietly having spent the previous day with her family around her recalling all of the great things that she meant to them.
