Mrs. Elizabeth Parsons, age 86, of Rose Blanche, Newfoundland and Labrador, passed peacefully away Friday, December 1st, 2012 at the Senior Citizen Home in Clarkes Beach, NL. Born in Rose Blanche, she was the daughter of the late Hezekiah and Rosanna (Strickland) Parsons. Elizabeth devoted her life to her family. Every meeting started with a hug and ended with a kiss. She loved to bake, sew and cook for her family and friends while she listened to music. She was a faithful reader of her bible and said her prayers daily. A memory that all her children share is of her listening to their prayers every night before bedtime. Elizabeth loved to dance, laugh and sit around the kitchen listening and talking with family. Elizabeth and Wilson loved to share a joke and were the best of friends as well as husband and wife. She was known for her helping ways and kind spirit. Elizabeth was a wonderful wife, loving mother, devoted grandmother and dedicated great grandmother. She will be remembered with great love, respect and many fond memories. Elizabeth is predeceased by her husband Wilson Parsons (1992), son Donald Wilson (1947), granddaughter Rebecca Susan Pack (2006) and great grandson Jackson Wilson Rose (2004); brothers George Robert, Thomas, Albert, Eric, Henry, Ralph and sisters Mariah, Carrie and Annie.
