Ruthann Parry Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Oct. 9 to Oct. 10, 2022.
Ruthann Bortzner Parry passed away peacefully on September 16th, 2022 at 3:02 P.M. in Valrico, Florida. She was born in Bayshore, New York on May 18th, 1962, to Christian and Lois Bortzner. She was an avid reader and an amazing gardener. Ruthann enjoyed swimming, spending time with her daughter and grandchildren, and spending the day at the beach. Ruthann was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Henry Parry Jr., and her parents, Christian and Lois Bortzner. She is survived by her daughter, Crystal Adams (Christopher); and two grandchildren. She was a wonderful mother and grandmother who always did the best she could for those she loved. May you rest in grace and love.

God's Garden

God looked around his garden and found an empty place, He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb. So, He closed your weary eyelids and whispered, 'Peace be thine'. It broke our hearts to lose you but you didn't go alone, for part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
