American mezzo-soprano and journalist Joanna Simon lost her battle with thyroid cancer last Wednesday at the ripe age of 85. And surprisingly enough, her sister, Tony Award-nominated songwriter and singer Lucy Simon, also passed away from metastatic breast cancer on Thursday at 82.
Their other sister, popular singer and musician Carly Simon, expressed that she is saddened to talk about the passing of her siblings, Joanna and Lucy Simon. She added that their loss would be haunting for her. Simon said no matter how sad the news is, it's incomplete to mourn them without celebrating their amazing lives.
Their bond as siblings was quite strong, and she felt like a part of herself was gone. The three sisters took turns taking over the music industry and marking paths for each other.
They were very close and shared secrets. She said they were keepers of each other's memories. She further added that she was speechless at the feeling of suddenly being the only remaining offspring of Richard and Andrea Simon. She shared that they touched the lives of everyone they knew, and those who came in touch with her would feel lucky and honoured to keep their memory alive. The Oscar and Grammy awardee finished her statement with, "With great and eternal love and respect."
The Simon sisters also had a brother, Peter Simon, who was a photographer but died at 71 in 2018.
