Eloise Simon was born May 17, 1954 in Poplar Grove, Arkansas to parents of Mae Ella Wright and James William Simon. Both parents preceded her in death, along with her three siblings James Christopher, Felechia and James William Simon III, and her special close friend, Anthony.
Eloise began her early years in Arkansas and later moved to Chicago where she attended William King Elementary School, Manley High School and later went on to Malcolm X College.
Eloise had some hobbies that she loved to do and that was taking cruises, going to the casino and grabbing her sister Ann to go with her, shopping, cooking and most importantly she loved going to work. Sick and all, Tutti was gone get up and make it to her job where she worked as a licensed DCFS worker for over 30 years. There they called her THE QUEEN BEE because she had been there so long and she knew her job very well. Tutti also used to stay in the kitchen cooking good hot meals, like them good fried pork chops with mac and cheese, rice and gravy, greens and cornbread, ham and them tender ribs that use to fall off the bone.
Eloise was a loving woman with genuine love for all who she encountered, especially: Her only son, Shon whom she spoiled; her niece, Myesha (Tweety Bird); and great niece, Mia. She raised them and she always made sure they were taken care of.
Eloise (Tutti) was called home to be with the Lord on November 24, 2025. She leaves to cherish: Her only loving son, Shon; her grandson, Shyaire; her sister, Savannah (Ann); her special daughter-in-law, Nicki; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. She’s going to be deeply missed.
