Dolores Sink Simpson

Dolores Sink Simpson passed away on Tuesday, May 12, 2026. Dolores was the oldest daughter of Dalton and Louise Sink. She is survived by her devoted, kind, and caring husband, Hugh; beloved brother Ron Sink; and beloved sister Carolyn Poff. She leaves behind many special nieces, nephews, and dear friends. She was the loving mother to Debbie (Joe) Thrasher and Karen (Scott) Berglund. She was the most caring and thoughtful grandmother (NanNan) to Whitney (Jason) Horn and Kara (Tim) Spooner. And the lights of her life were her great-grandchildren: Crosby and Bauer Horn, and Tobin and Sawyer Spooner. She loved them all beyond measure.

Dolores was an active member of Mount Union Church of the Brethren for over 60 years. She leaves behind many dear church friends she enjoyed being with for many years.

Dolores was most happy enjoying the beauty of nature, tending to her flower garden, vacationing with her family, and attending years of her granddaughters’ sporting events, horse shows, swim meets, and dance recitals.

The family extends special thanks to Dr. Kimberly Aderhold and her staff at Blue Ridge Cancer Care. We are also thankful and grateful for the kind and superb care Dolores received at the hospice house of Good Samaritan Hospice in Roanoke. A gathering to honor her will be held at 11:00 am on Thursday, May 21, 2026, at Simpson Funeral Home at 3192 Electric Road in Roanoke. Donations in her memory may be made to Good Samaritan Hospice or St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
