Isabell Lillie Mae (Little) Pinckney, 85, was born on May 24, 1940, to McClendon Little and Leola Catherine (Patrick) Little in Morven, North Carolina. She dedicated many years to serving others and eventually retired from Greenbrook Regional Center in Greenbrook, New Jersey. She transitioned peacefully at home on August 3, 2025, surrounded by her loving family, in Plainfield, New Jersey.
Known as Lillie Mae, she was a joyful, faith-filled woman who loved the Lord, sang gospel with all her heart, and prayed faithfully for her family and friends, offering encouragement and comfort whenever it was needed. She carried a warm and uplifting spirit, and her presence brought light and joy into every room.
Mrs. Pinckney was previously married to Hayward Parsons. She was predeceased by her faithful husband, William Pinckney; devoted son, David Parsons; four brothers, James H. Little, Wilbert T. Little, McClendon Little Jr., and Robert L. Little; and three sisters, Hattie M. West, Ethel L. Little, and Leola F. Little.
She leaves to cherish her memory her loving son, Perry Lee Parsons Sr.; three sisters, Alberta Williams, Ida Francis P. Patterson, and Evelma J. Barnes; one brother, Charlie A. Little; six grandchildren, Tiffanie (Connor) Cooke, Perry Lee Connor Jr., Sabrina Parsons, Sarina Parsons, Kiana (Connor) Lawton, Darnell Connor; eighteen great-grandchildren; and many dear family members and friends.
Her life was a testament to love, faith, and perseverance, and she now rests in the eternal presence of her Savior, Jesus Christ.
