William Parrish Obituary

William Russell Parrish

William "Bill" Russell Parrish, age 76, of Lebanon TN was called home to be with our Lord on Saturday, November 7th, 2020. He was with the comfort of his children and all their heartfelt love.

Bill lived life to the fullest. He grew up in East Nashville and was a proud member of Isaac Litton High School Class of 1962 of which flourished many lifelong friendships that he held dear. He furthered his education at the University of Tennessee and attained a graduate degree at Lindenwood University. He was retired from his career of real estate and appraising. His greatest enjoyment came from travel and spending time with family and friends. His children and grandchildren were his pride and joy.

The greatest legacy is his loving family that he held so dear to his heart and all will miss him immensely. His four children: Sherry Parrish Hodge (Ed), Monique Parrish Marlow, Russell Parrish (Brooke), Baye Parrish; His Eight Grandchildren: Josh Hodge, Jordan Hodge, Ella Marlow, Jack Marlow, Carson Parrish, Chloe Parrish, Autumn Parrish, Hudson Parrish; Aunt: Polly Hancock, Niece: Angie De Simone, many cousins and many close friends. Preceded in Death: Julius Parrish (father), Annabelle Parrish (mother), Sherry Crews Reeves (sister).

Bill will be most remembered for being a true servant. He dedicated much of his life to helping others.

There will be a celebration of life at a future date due to the current health concerns.
