She was the first of 3 children born to the late Dudley Idel and Thelma Bernice Parrish. She was born in Philadelphia Pennsylvania on March 16, 1937. At a young age, her parents moved her to Washington, DC then shortly after, to Hyattsville, MD where most of her fond memories of growing up would take place. She loved to reminisce about the "Old Days" of Hyattsville and how wonderfully simple things were back then. There was the penny candy, the walks along the railroad tracks right by the family home, the trips to the movies where you would watch a double feature plus get popcorn all for a quarter, and of course her days at Northwestern High School.
In addition to her parents, Pat was preceded in death by her sister Christine Poe
Pat is survived by her brother Dudley Idel Parrish, Jr. her children Bonnie (John) Giusti, Stephanie (Kenny) Davis, Patricia Becraft, Robert Jr. (Debra) Gross, Tracy Wilfred and Kymberly (Alex) Uribe, her nieces Erin (Allan) Atkinson, Maureen Parrish, nephews Brian Parrish, James Stephenson and Robert Stephenson. And we always save the best for last, her 15 beautiful grandchildren and 26 gorgeous great grandchildren.
She ALWAYS said, "I have good looking kids, grandkids and great grandkids!"
