Jamie Jo Simon

Jamie Jo Simon, 41, of Stover, passed away Tuesday, August 12, 2025, at her home.

She was born on November 7, 1983, in Sedalia, MO, a daughter of Steve and Debbie (Garr) Eckhoff. On April 3, 2004, at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Stover she married Mitchell Simon who is a survivor of the home.

Jamie was a 2002 graduate of Stover High School. She was a beloved member of Christ Lutheran Church in Stover, where her faith was a guiding light in her life. She had a special gift for caring for others, especially children and babies, providing loving childcare to many families in the community.

Jamie enjoyed the simple joys of life and embraced opportunities to be outdoors. She loved camping, relaxing at the beach, spending time by the water—especially in her swimming pool—and visiting the mountains. She found beauty in nature, with cardinal birds holding a special place in her heart and bluebirds being her very favorite.

Family was at the center of Jamie’s world, and together they formed a bond so strong they lovingly referred to themselves as “the tribe”. Her greatest love was her children and family, and she never missed an opportunity to support them, especially when it came to attending her children’s sporting events.

Jamie’s warm heart, laughter, devotion to family, and joy for life will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. She leaves behind a legacy of love, care, and treasured memories that will continue to inspire those she touched.
