Lulu S. Watson, age 90, passed away June 6, 2021, in Niceville.
Born on October 6, 1930, in Marianna, Florida, Lulu was loved by many wherever she was. Growing up in Marianna, she was known as beautiful and fun – a beauty queen, cheerleader, and friend. She attended Florida State University for a brief time before marrying Paul Sims, a pilot in the USAF. Together they raised three children and traveled to Japan and various US installations before settling in Valparaiso.
Several years later, Lulu returned to college and graduated in the first class of graduates from the University of West Florida in 1968.
In addition to her job as a college instructor, Lulu became a successful realtor after marrying Dick Watson. Together they sold many properties in Shalimar and Ft. Walton Beach.
But her favorite job was being a mother, a grandmother, and a great-grandmother. She was always in the audience when one of her grandchildren had a performance or an athletic event.
Lulu was preceded in death by her parents, Roy P and Mary Bruce Milton Singletary; her sister Sarah Bruce Singletary Harris; her husband Richard (Dick) Watson; her son John P Sims; her grandson Michael Finlayson. She is survived by her children Susie (Jimmy) Finlayson and Randy (Sandy) Sims; daughter-in-law Nancy Sims; and many beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and extended family members.
