George William Parrott

Parrott, George William, 77, went to be with his Lord and Savior on Saturday, October 15, 2011. George was a veteran of the US Army. He was a member of Immanuel Baptist Church. He retired from Fire Pro, Inc. George loved his wife, Frances, and loved his kids, and he especially loved his grand and great grandchildren. George’s favorite thing on earth was a good ballgame, a family gathering, a card game, and a good laugh. He loved nothing more than watching his kids excel in sports and later took pride in the games of the grandchildren. He probably holds the record for being thrown out of the most ballgames at Maynard Glenn Field in the 70’s. George was preceded in death by his parents, John and Clara Parrott, his brother, Clarence (Bud), and his mother and father in law, Clyde and Velma Gorman. He is survived by his loving wife, Frances; his children, Debbie and Mark Humphrey, Donna Bodenheimer, Daniel and Krisden Parrott and Jeff and Kristin Parrott; his grandchildren, Crystal and Curt, Kevin, Brad, Jill and Beau, Joshua, Amber, Brandon, Kayla and Kade, and his great grandchildren, Gavin and Addison; his brothers and sisters in law, Paul and Jean Parrott, Jim Parrott, Jack and Sharon Parrott; his sister, Charlotte Valentine; his brothers in law and sisters in law, Bill and Kathryn Irwin and Harold and Shara Gorman, and many nieces and nephews. The family will receive friends 12:30-2:30 pm Monday with funeral services to follow at 2:30 pm. Dr. George Hollander officiating. Family and friends will meet at 10am Tuesday at Berry Funeral Home and proceed to Woodlawn Cemetery for an 11 am interment service. Pallbearers will be Daniel Parrott, Jeff Parrott, Mark Humphrey, Joshua Bodenheimer, Brad Humphrey and Beau Baker. Condolences may be offered at www.berryfuneralhome.net.
