The former Betty Maryann Brown was born February 24, 1938, in Greeneville, Tennessee, the daughter of Roy and Myra (King) Brown. Betty spent most of her life as a housewife in Illinois and was married to Alford Don Parr on December 6, 1954.
She loved to be near water and talked of walking on the Mississippi River. One of her favorite pastimes was playing bingo. If you like country cooking she made the best soup beans, cornbread, and fried potatos.
Betty is survived by a daughter, Sandra ?Sunny? Squibb of Johnson City, TN, a son, Calvin Parr, of Northern California, 7 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, several cousins located in Ca., Ill., and TN, and a special friend, Liz Rogers of Colona, Illinois. She was preceded in death by a daughter, Donna Kay Everett, her husband, and a beloved companion, Donald Keegan.
