Louth Town Council - Working with the community to make Louth a better place to live and work

In Loving Memory of

JULIA MARY SIMMONS

 

 Mayor of Louth

May 2023 to December 2024

It is with great sadness that we announce the loss of a lovely friend,
colleague and the Mayor, Julia Simmons, who passed away in the early
hours of this morning, at home, following a 6 month battle with cancer.

Julia was well known throughout the town as a good and kind friend.  
With her background in nursing and show business, her caring nature
and ever-present love of life she was a wonderful person to spend time
with.  She was a talented actress and comedienne, who had a very
varied life, moving to London after gaining a scholarship to study
Arts at one of the most prestigious schools, Arts Ed.  After graduating
with a degree in Musical Theatre she went straight into show business
as a dancer/actress/singer and choreographer.  

More recently, she was a valued Councillor who was elected to
serve on Louth Town Council in 2019 and who served as Mayor in
2023/24 and continued into 2024/25.  

She was passionate about the town – past, present and future.  

Julia will be so very sadly missed by a great many people.  
Her passing leaves a big hole in the lives of those she leaves behind.  
Our thoughts and prayers are with Alan, her loving husband
and Consort and her family at this distressing time.
