PROULX, Simone
1932 - 2025
Our world got darker, but heaven got lot brighter as we bid farewell to Simone. She has now reunited with the love of her life, the late Laurent, with whom shared 60 years of marriage. There is not enough space to cover all that she has done in her 92 years, but her heart and soul was always her family, her friends, and her faith.
She raised four beloved children, Marcel (Joanne), Robert (Gayle), Lucille (Robert) Dolmovic, and Francine (Peter) Milot. She was a devoted and loving grandmother to Lauren (Brian) Polk, Jean-Paul Proulx, Trevor (Kiyah Benee) Dolmovic, Michelle (Chris) Obieglo, Eric Proulx, and Jocelyn (Jason) Proulx. She threw the rule book out the window when it came to her cherished great-grand-children, Emma and Warren Polk, Marissa Proulx, Simon Jackson and Ace Robert Dolmovic, Claire Obieglo, Riley Proulx, and Ethan Proulx. She leaves in grief her dear sisters Rita Couture and Yvonne Philips, sister-in-law Jackie Mainville, and many nieces and nephews, including her godson Darren Philips; who, along with her longtime friend and neighbour Doris Uhrayn, took such great care with helping her, especially during her final years. She loved her friends at the Encore Club, and we will forever hear her singing whenever we hear “Quand le soleil dit Bonjour au montaigne”. While her time at the Golden Manor in Timmins was brief, she adored, and in turn was adored by, those she met and was happy in her final days.
There wasn’t a single bone in Simone’s body that wasn’t forged in steel and a healthy dose of stubbornness. Her strong-will helped her navigate the many challenges life threw her way, and she taught us all how to persevere, no matter the challenge, and to always smile, laugh, and love with an open heart.
The family will be receiving visitors at Timiskaming Funeral Cooperative (111 Burnside Drive) on Wednesday March 26th from 10:30 am-12:30 pm for both family and friends, with a service to follow at la Paroisse de l’Assomption at 1:00 pm. Service will also be livestreamed for those unable to attend in person.

I have many wonderful memories of matante Simone as I was growing up. I spent a lot of time with Lucille & Francine who are still my sistacousines. I must admit, as a kid, she would scare me and then show my love with her great smile.
Thanks to matante, there were family reunions, family trips and milestone birthdays where we got to spend time together, a.k.a. Party, as adults. I’m sad that these occasions will probably not happen again, but the memories and the pictures will live on.
Last time I saw her, when I told her I loved her, she asked me how I knew that and I told her that I’ve known her all my life. She smiled….
To family and friends of the Proulx family
Even though I’ve lost my voice, I would have sung your song at the club Saturday night. Simone, you thought us is that we didn’t have to be perfect but willing to give it a try. I guess that’s why there’s so many “chançon à répondre” in French kitchens.

Sincères condoléances. J’ai de bons souvenirs de Simone. J’ai vécu de bons moments avec Simone, Rachel et Pierrette. Repose en paix Simone.

I am very saddened to hear of Simone's passing. She was a neighbor for many years and a member of the Encore Club on a regular basis. I will miss her smiling face and have missed her attendance at Karaoke nights where she would sing her song which will always remind me of her. She attended Craft Lunch sessions every week and always had a smile when she came to the club. She was loved by everyone who knew her. I would like to extend my deepest condolences to her family at this difficult time. May She Rest in Peace!
Francine and Peter, Lucille and Robert and Darren,
I spent many times at the Proulx household in the 70s. Your parents were always so very welcoming - your mom always greeting me with her warm smile.
I will treasure the talks Simone and I had at the Encore Club. She was always so proud to get up there and sing. Her strength and determination was admired.
My sympathies to family and friends.

I grew very close to Simone in the years that I knew her. She was a sweet, kind lady, who always greeted me with a smile. When she finally gave up her house to move to Timmins, she seemed to be at peace with the idea, and agreed that it was time to be looked after instead of being the one to "Look after everyone ". I will miss you, my dear, sweet friend. RIP
Marcel and family
