I'd like to correct some items in the obituary. Otis' wife was Martha June (Fletcher) Parkison, my mother.
Their children are Patsy Ann Parkison Tretter, Otis Paul Parkison, Rosalie Mae Parkison Tackett, Deanna June Parkison Carlock, Etta Louise Parkison Morrison, and Penny Sue Parkison.
His wife June is buried in Bethany Church Cemetery where his ashes will be buried, hopefully.
