Christina Simmerman Mills, daughter of Albert Austin Powell and Nancy Laverna (Cooper) Powell, was born July 30, 1922, in Madison County and passed from this life Friday, Jan, 22, 2010, at Kavanagh on 56th in Des Moines, at 87 years of age.


Christina was united in marriage to Nelson Felix Simmerman on Oct. 18, 1941, and two sons blessed this union, Donald and Robert. They lived on a farm near Peru where Christina was a farm wife and mother. Nelson preceded her in death on June 23, 1986.


Following the death of Nelson, Christina moved to Osceola in 1987. She married Garould Andrew Mills on Oct. 15, 1988. Garould preceded her in death on Nov. 17, 2004.


A memorial visitation was held Friday, Jan. 29, 2010, at the Osceola Full Gospel Church in Osceola. 


Christina was cremated and her cremains will be buried at the Union Cemetery in Clarke County. Memorial contributions may be directed to her family for a memorial to be decided at a later date.

Reader poll

Clarke County Landfill Commission voted to proceed with a transfer station to replace the landfill after it reaches capacity, but Osceola City Council hasn't given its support for the idea. What do you think is the best option for the city of Osceola?
A transfer station would be most convenient, even if it comes at slightly higher costs than direct hauling and keeps the city in the 28E agreement.
If direct hauling to Madison County Landfill or Metro Waste Authority is the cheapest option, it's the best choice despite some inconvenience to those who currently drop off waste at Clarke County Landfill.
Although it could be the most expensive option, Clarke County should build another landfill.
I don't care what the city decides.
