I was her hairdresser for 40 years. After all those years and all the stories told, on both sides. We were family! She treated me like I was one of her kids. I loved all her motherly advice. Ok maybe not all. But I always listened to her .
I admired her so much. She was a strong woman who believed and lived her faith. No matter what. There was nothing more important than her kids. She loved with all she had. Then the wonderful grandchildren and great grandchildren came along. They were her joy. In the later years I started calling her Rosie. It brought a smile as she walked through the door. I will always remember the many great times we had together. We laugh and sometimes we cried . It was a special relationship for me. Rest in peace my sweet Rosie. We will meet again 💖

Mary and I are saddened by Parm's departure from us, but joyful in knowing that she is now with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, in her eternal home in Heaven. It was a God-sent blessing to sing with her - what a great alto voice! Much love and our condolences, Dennis and Mary Heath

Parm was my Mother-in-Law for many, many years and I loved her like a Mom. She supported Britt and Corey in all their crazy ball schedules. Our favorite part was sitting hours upon hours at the ballpark eating spicy boiled peanuts! She never missed a game! She was full of spunk if a bad call was made by the umpire.
I have missed her being a part of my life the past 14 years, but what I do know is she LOVED her boys, she especially loved her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Family is what meant the most to her. All she ever wanted was for everyone to be happy.
She was a wonderful, caring, and loving Mom-in-law and I just know you are singing praises up there.
Love you and thank you for the memories,
