A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11:00 am on Friday, December 10, 2021, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Auburndale, WI with Fr. Murali Anand Rayappan officiating. Her family will receive relatives and friends from 4:00 pm until 8:00 pm on Thursday, December 9, 2021, at Hansen-Schilling Funeral Home and from 10:00 am on Thursday until service time at St. Mary’s Catholic Church. A rosary service will be held at 4:30 pm on Thursday at the funeral home.
Simone was born on July 10, 1988, in Marshfield, to Shari (Bohman) and Steve Ponshock and attended Auburndale High School. She was married to Travis M. Paul on May 6, 2011, at Riverside Park in La Crosse, WI. Simone was a loving mother who enjoyed bringing life and happiness wherever she went. She never failed to make people smile and laugh. She loved to go four-wheeling, cook delicious meals, eat endless sushi, spend time with her son Braxton, and spend quality time with family and friends. Simone would always come prepared with hilarious face mask drink coasters to have people place on their nose and get a good chuckle. At events, she liked to sneak random objects into her aunt’s purses and giggle as she did it. Simone was the best aunt to her little fur-nephew Brady. Her bubbly, caring personality will be missed by many.
Simone is survived by her husband, Travis; son, Braxton; father, Steve Ponshock; and brother/sister-in-law, Garitt (Jenna) Ponshock of Auburndale.
