Betty Jean Parsons was born May 19, 1943, in rural McNairy County to her parents, the late Gilbert S. Keen and Edna Taylor (Keen) Griffin.
She was united in marriage to Larry William Parsons on February 14, 1990. He preceded her in death on November 18, 2017, following 27 years of marriage.
She worked for McNairy County Veterinarian's Clinic and Medic Home Health for many years.
She was Baptist in faith. Some of her favorite hobbies were quail hunting and fishing, walking the riverbanks treasure hunting, and playing with her grand-dogs.

King and husband Dennis of Henderson, TN; a grandson, AJ Eubanks and wife Amy; two great-grandchildren, Harrison Eubanks and Parker Dotson; and two sisters, Geneva Moore and husband Ray of Savannah, TN, and Dean McEwen of Corinth, MS; and well as many nieces and nephews who fondly called aunt "Bet".
