Dorothy and her husband spent many years in the mountains of North Carolina, and she was blessed with many friends. She had great wit and loved a good joke. She was a precious wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She suffered most of her life with rheumatoid arthritis, but it never stopped her from living a full and happy life.
Dorothy is survived by her four children, Jeff Parris (fiancée, Carol Lawson) of Lyman, SC, Kimberly Jo Parris Beasley (Bubba) of Irmo, SC, Julia Parris of West Columbia, SC, Rev. Dr. William Parris (Ruth) of Greenville, SC ; six grandchildren, Kevin Parris (Christina) of Central, SC, Jonathan Parris (Tracy) of Travelers Rest, SC, Hillary Beasley Kimsey (Tom), of Bremerton, WA, John Beasley (Kelly) of Lexington, SC, Wilson Parris and Thomas Parris, of Greenville, SC; eleven great-grandchildren; sister, Joey Wilson Green (Ray) of Greer, SC, and many nieces, nephews and cousins. In addition to her parents, Dorothy was predeceased by her beloved husband, John Robert Parris; son, John Kevin Parris; two grandsons, Joshua Parris and Ryan Marshall Beasley; four brothers, William Walton Wilson, Hilton LeGrande Wilson, Doyle Wilson and Harold Wilson; daughter-in-law, Sherry Parris.
The family would like to express their appreciation to the precious workers at National Health Care in Lexington for their love and support of their mother over these past 2 years.
Dorothy will be greatly missed by her family and friends. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Eau Claire Baptist Church (Montague Fund), or The Arthritis Foundation, 1355 Peachtree St. NE, Suite 600, Atlanta, GA 30309, or the American Heart Association, 190 Knox Abbott Dr. # 301, Cayce, SC 29033.
