She was born in Fenwick Island, to the late Lemuel Augustus Keene and Mary (Kitchens) Keene.
Mrs. Parsons was a graduate of Selbyville High School and Goldey Beacom Business School, where she excelled in basketball at both schools.
During the majority of her lifetime she was involved with her husband in ownership and operation of the family business of Fishermans Wharf, Lewes.
For many years, Mrs. Parsons volunteered with the Beebe Medical Auxiliary and she was a member of the Bethel United Methodist Church, Lewes.
She was known for her green thumb as an avid gardener and enjoyed the local couples club.
Wherever Mrs. Parsons went, she especially enjoyed meeting people and always saw the good in everyone.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brothers, Erwin and Clarence Keene; and her sisters, Mary Elizabeth Cameron and Gertrude Ringler.
She is survived by her husband of 55 years, Harry Dale Parsons; son, H.D. Parsons and wife Ann of Lewes; daughter, Keena P. Ross and husband Paul of Delmar, Md.; grandchildren, Brinleigh, Mackie, Parron, Keara, Parker, and Reven; a step-granddaughter, Sarah; sister, Anne Marvel and her husband James of Georgetown; sister-in-law, Ginny Keene of Millsboro; brother-in-law, Clayton Ringler formerly of Bethany Beach; several nieces and nephews; and Angie Schuck, the Parson's AFS German exchange daughter, and Angie's husband Rolf.
Funeral Services with Pastor Fred Duncan officiating will be 2 p.m. Wednesday in Parsell Funeral Homes & Crematorium, Akins-Lodge Chapel, 16961 Kings Highway, Lewes, where friends may call two hours prior to services.
Friends may also call at the funeral home from 6-9 p.m. Tuesday.
