Lynn Margaret Broadbent Parrish
October 10, 1953 - April 11, 2016
Lynn Margaret Broadbent Parrish, beautiful mother, wife, daughter, sister and friend, returned to her Heavenly Father on April 11, 2016. Although her passing was tragic and unexpected, Lynn left this world surrounded by her family and loved ones. Born in Oakland, California, to Arthur Marion Broadbent Jr. and Phyllis (Fee) Budge Broadbent, Lynn spent her childhood in California and summers with her family at Bear Lake and in Alpine, Wyoming. After the untimely death of her father, Lynn and her family moved back to her mother's hometown, Logan, Utah, where she attended Logan High School. There she met the love of her life, Scott K. Parrish, at the age of 15. She later continued her education at Utah State University alongside Scott. They were married Sept. 24, 1977, and their marriage was later solemnized in the Logan LDS Temple, sealing her to her children and husband for time and all eternity. Their adventures then continued, taking them from Pullman, Washington, to St. Louis, Missouri, Brussels, Belgium, and Spokane, Washington. After 18 years in Spokane, their hearts lead them back to where their adventures first began in Logan, Utah. This last year brought Lynn immense joy, from welcoming her first grandchild into the world, to watching her youngest son win the football state championship with Logan High School. Lynn received much joy and fulfillment not only as a mother, but also as a homemaker, friend and confidant. She was gracious, empathetic and could find love in her heart for anyone. Lynn loved the world, and the world loved Lynn. She was a talented musician, writer and artist. Generous and giving, Lynn was unstoppable, having an incredible sense of humor; she could lighten even the darkest situations. Lynn is survived by her husband Scott Parrish, her loving children Alexandria Lynn Parrish, Dalton Parrish, McCall Parrish Florez (Tyler), Maddison Parrish, Chance Parrish and Cade Parrish, a beautiful grandchild Ryland Florez, her devoted mother Fee Broadbent Holmgren, sister Adrian Broadbent Lundgren (Kent) and brother Clay Broadbent (Lisa). She was preceded in death by her father Arthur M. Broadbent Jr. and stepfather Lyle E. Holmgren.
