Anna Parson Obituary

Our hearts were deeply saddened on Monday, Feb. 9, 2009, when God called our loved one, Anna Marie Tyree Parson, home to be with her heavenly father.

She was born April 7, 1926, in New Kent County to the late Richard and Mary Braxton Tyree. Anna was a native of Surry County but resided in McKenney for several years. She was preceded in death by her brother, Richard Tyree; two sisters, Odessa Walker and Mary Francis Tyree; and a devoted loved one, George W. Parson.

Left to cherish her memories: two daughters, Laura Hamlin (Donald) of Waverly and Joice Anderson (Willie) of Surry; two sons, Robert Parson (Nancy) of McKenney and Larry Parson of Surry; 10 grandchildren, one devoted Andree M. Parson; 13 great-grandchildren; one sister, Marion Tyree of Newport News; a host of nieces, nephews, family and friends; a very special devoted nurse, Deborah Walker.

A funeral service will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 14, 2009, from the Chapel of Waverly Funeral Establishment, 219 N. County Drive, Waverly. Bishop Howard Parson will officiate. Interment will follow in the Parson Family Cemetery, Surry. The family may be contacted at 2764 Martin Luther King Highway, Waverly, (804) 894-2601.

Funeral arrangements are being provided to the Parson family by the staff and management of Waverly Funeral Establishment, Waverly. The Rev. Jeffrey L. Dodson Sr., funeral director.
