Jimmie Clyde Rawls Thorpe Parrish went home to be with her Lord, Jesus Christ, on Thursday, June 18, 2020.
She moved to Hosford in Liberty Co., FL in 1940. She loved the Lord and was grateful that He gave her a heart for her children who were the joy of her life. To her, family was a sweet enduring blessing – a gift from God. She loved the old hymns, gospel singing, her church, traveling, and surely and dearly all of her family. A single mother with limited education, she worked hard in those jobs available to her to care for her children: mill laborer, waitress, machine operator at Joe Budd Cigar factory. Through her senior years, until the age of 92, she also worked as a Senior Program Aide to assist in homes of the elderly and disabled, served at the Hosford and Bristol Senior Centers, and as a Hosford Elementary School aide.
She is survived by:
her son and daughter-in-law
her daughter
four grandchildren
a grand daughter-in-Law
four great-grandchildren
nieces and nephews
She was preceded in death by:
her mother, Annie Lee Dean Rawls Gowan
her husband, Coley “Shorty” Parrish
brothers John C. Rawls & Clarence “Pete” Gowan
a sister, Jewel Dykes
a grandson, Michael Thorpe
a son-in-Law, Garard Revell
