Member of Grove pioneer family passes away

Dr. Dazelle Simpson

Dr. Dazelle Simpson, 95, passed away on Sunday. Dr. Simpson was a pioneering black doctor in Florida who practiced in Liberty City an Overtown. Her connection to the Grove is that she is Grove pioneer E.W.F. Stirrup's granddaughter. We spoke about the Stirrup house last week.

Dr. Simpson graduated as the valedictorian of George Washington Carver High School, here in the Grove and went on to graduate magna cum laude from Fisk College in Nashville, TN.

She and her husband, also a doctor, married in 1949 at the Grove's Christ Episcopal Church.

The obit is here, in the Herald.
