Sheila “Shirley” Parrott, 65

Sheila “Shirley” Parrott, 65, of Fleming Island, FL passed away Sunday, May 22, 2022.  Shirley was born in Belfast, Ireland to the late Albert Sewell and Ellen Martin.  While living in England, she met her current husband who was stationed there in the United States Air Force.  His military career took them to North Dakota and Virginia before settling in Indiana.  She moved to Clay County 15 years ago.  Shirley began her 30-year career with Walmart while living in Virginia.  She loved going to the beach and being with her family, especially her grandchildren.  She did all the kid things with them – bowling, going to the movies, anything they wanted to do.  Family always came first for Shirley.  She also crocheted many blankets for family and friends.

Shirley was preceded in death by her parents; her brother, Bert Sewell; and mother-in-law, Barbara Peacock.  She is survived by her current husband of 32 years, Richard “Rick” Parrott; two sons, Craig Walker (Lee Ann) and Michael Parrott; one daughter, Kerry Gnadinger (Carl); three sisters, Elizabeth Moulton, May Taylor, Elaine Simpson; four grandchildren, Kaden, Cameron, Cael, and Ryleigh; as well as many other family members and friends.

A private family service will be held at a later date.
