Simone was survived by her 4 children, Bianca P. Para, Brandon M. Matusak, Gianna L. Bedolli, Giovanni R. Staskiewicz; grand daughter Alina Rae Para.

She was a strong woman whose life was marked by both resilience and struggle.

Simone’s presence in this world touched the lives of all who know her. She lived life intensely loved deeply, and carried struggles that were not always easy for others to understand.

Simone was best known for her remarkable skills and passion for all things crafty and culinary. She brought artistry and glitter to every project she undertook, whether she was crafting wreaths and holiday décor or preparing delicious homemade meals. Simone loved to experiment and create different meals at dinnertime. She was always hands-on in the kitchen and loved to cook meals for those she loved. Simone loved buying new baking and culinary wear to use. When it came to baking, she would make dozens of cookies to give to family, friends, teachers, and anyone else who helped our family and took care of us. Her chocolate chip cookies will be dearly missed and were a fan favorite around the holidays 

Although Simone is no longer with us, her memory endures.

Simone Rae Para will be deeply missed.
