Nancy J. Parkison

After overcoming more medical hardships than anyone thought possible, Nancy J. Parkison, age 89, was welcomed into the arms of the Lord on November 4, 2026, where she is together again with her beloved husband, Robert.

Born on April 17, 1937, in Pittsburgh, PA, Nancy was the daughter of Robert E. and Helen C. Becker. She graduated from Alliance High School and went on to study accounting at Mount Union College and Kent State University. She was a member of the Elks Auxiliary.

Nancy was a wonderful, caring person who always put others first. She was also strong and resourceful, running the household, raising her children, and managing the family's rental properties largely on her own while Robert traveled for work. A gifted seamstress, she could create anything she set her mind to. Her love of baking and cooking made every holiday gathering special. Above all, she loved her family and treasured every moment with them, especially their yearly beach vacations.

Those left to cherish her memory are her children, William E. Parkison Sr. and Barbara Hunt; grandchildren, William E. (Marlene) Parkison Jr. and Brandon and Alexis Hunt; step-granddaughter, Casey Moore; great-grandchildren, Paige M. Parkison and William E. Parkison III; and her sister, Patricia Hunt.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Robert W. Parkison; her brother, Robert (Butch) Becker; and her sister, Evelyn Lieberman.

The family is deeply grateful to Ryan Scragg, FNP, and nurse Angel of Harmony Cares, whose attentive, compassionate care and respect for the family's wishes meant so much to Nancy and to all of us.

A visitation will be held at Cassaday-Turkle-Christian Funeral Home on Sunday, November 15th from 3:00-5:00 p.m. and on Monday, November 16th from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m., with a service to follow at 11:00 a.m.
