I really enjoyed working with Parnell at Harris. She always had an engaging lesson with the students. But, what I enjoyed most was teasing her about all sorts of things. It was teasing, not tormenting because she always took it with a smile and was quick to return the favor when the opportunity presented itself. When hearing that it upset her if the color of the chairs did not match at her library tables, Bob Richards and I mix-matched the chairs. When she realized what we had done, she smiled and went to work sorting the chairs. When I reached my 50th birthday, the school celebrated with many embarrassing activities. At some point I inquired whether her 50th was coming up soon. She replied that she was much younger in such a convincing voice that I assumed she had another 5 or 6 years to go, but it was only 11 months. Parnell will be missed by many. Blessings to Allen, Carrie, and especially to Matthew.

Dear Allen, Carrie & Matthew, During the years that Pat and I worked together at Harris School, I spent many hours in the library after school. Pat would be shelving books, and I would be grading papers. We talked a lot about the challenges of being working mothers. Still today, whenever I see a camper or campground, I am reminded of your family. May the peace of Christ be with you, especially during this difficult time. Sincerely, Renee Saunches

Patsy was probably my first friend as she and I grew up next to each other on Jordan St in Decatur. My mother was influential in introducing her to Jesus and hopefully it gives you some comfort to know she is celebrating in heaven todayWell done, good and faithful servant Matt 25:21Good memoriesJoyce Salogga Williams
