Mary Anne Parrish was born on June 10, 1934 to Anna Abbatine and Frank Abbatine in Bronx, N.Y. Always surrounded by a big extended Italian family she enjoyed a happy and secure childhood which always made her want nothing more than a big family of her own. She married in 1956 to John Parrish and together they had five healthy children fulfilling her dream. That family has continued to grow surrounding her with eternal love.
She is survived by her brother, Tony Abbatantono, her sister, Cynthia Gribben, her children, John Parrish, Jr., Kathleen Asaibene, Christine Guarino, Jayne Nhaisi, and Robert Parrish, her grandchildren, Anthony Asaibene, Laura Gashlin, Danielle Coe, Ethan Nhaisi, Angelica Guarino, Aliya Nhaisi, and Victoria Guarino, and her great grandchildren, Samuel Asaibene, and Olive Gashlin.
Mary Anne loved to dance, the countryside, and attending any church or prayer services. It gives us great comfort to know she is at peace in heaven with The Lord.
