I checked the obit index for the 1950's at the Bethlehem Library site - http://www.bapl.org/lochist/news/lhnews1.htm -no Cora Reed Simons, but there is a John Simons. Do you know where her children were buried? You can often find the burial place of a parent by finding out where all of her children are buried. Was she Catholic, Lutheran, Presbyterian? That would help narrow down the cemetery.
