Maxine Parrish, age 89, passed away peacefully at Southeast Health December 17, 2020 (non-covid related).

She was born June 17, 1931 in Geneva County to Archie Lee and Dora Armstrong Parrish. She married Billy Parrish of Dothan where they had and raised three children. She was an active member of Lafayette Street United Methodist Church, attended the last service held there. In 1980 Maxine moved to Atlanta and worked at Georgia Lighting, attaining the top salesperson of the year award four years in a row. Upon her retirement, she moved to Bonifay, Florida where her Mother resided to attend to her. She joined the First Baptist Church of Bonifay and with her passion for flowers and pretty lawns became an avid gardener- known as the John Deere Lady in Bonifay. Her last six months residing at Extendicare in Dothan, she gained many new friendships.
