Miller of the Church of Christ officiated, and interment was made in Maple Hill cemetery. She was 94 years old.

Five children were born to Dr. and Mrs. Parrish, and two of these remain to cherish the memory of their parents. They are Maude Parrish of Osceola who devoted her life to the care and companionship of her father and mother; and Guy Parrish of Sheridan, Wyoming. William, Earl and Myrtle preceded their mother in death.
Besides the children, she is surved by one grandchild, Mamie Pirtle of Des Moines; five great grandchildren and one great great grandchild, David Lee who made his home with Mrs. Parrish.
She became a member of the Christian church at Hopeville and later transferred her membership to the Osceola church where she has remained a faithful member and worker for 46 years.

Because of her varied interests and her life of service she will long be remembered by a host of friends and
neighbors.
