A Great Life Well Lived
Steve passed peacefully away surrounded by his adoring family at the Health Science Centre on Feb. 4th at the age of 87; he is now reunited with his great love, his wife, Frances Parsley (Bickford), who pre-deceased him on 10 07 2014. Steve was the youngest of 10 children, and the last to join their deceased parents, Chris and Mary (Furey) Parsley.
Steve leaves to mourn, his 3 loving daughters: Sharon, Tena, Pamela (Bob Reid), 8 Grandchildren who adored their Poppy: Janelle (Jason), Jason (Katie), Jennifer (Russell), Stephanie, Michelle (Shawn), Barry (Maja), Chelsea, and Nicole. 15 loving Great Grandchildren Chantelle (Kelton), Callie, Nathan, Keegan, Austin, Mackenzie, Tanner, Alexis, Evelyn, Olivia, Victoria, Luca, Alex, Nicolas, and Ivory, and his newest love, his Great Great Granddaughter Claire. Brothers in law and sisters in law, Hayward Porter, Mary, Chellis (Inez), Elaine (Reuben), Stewart (Barb), Sandra and Cynthia as well as many other relatives and friends.
Steve lived his life by example; he was always patient and kind, loving greatly and quietly. Always with a smile, his ever growing family and life on Bell Island made his life full. Steve left his home on Bell Island on March 1, 2020, which was the beginning of Covid, and all the ups and downs that came because of it. Until Jan.12, 2022 when he became ill, Steve lived at Meadow Creek Retirement Home. We want to thank the staff for taking great care of our dad through it all!!
Thank you also to the Doctors and Nurses at the Health Science Centre, 4th Fl. South B, for taking great care of our dad during the last days of his life! Love from his daughters!!!
Dad and mom wanted to be cremated, and wait for each other to have their funerals together. “So Sharon, you’ll have to make room for dad on your dresser to be next to mom!”
Because of Covid times, we are waiting to celebrate their lives, and have the funeral later this year. In honour of Steve, please feel free to make a donation to the Heart & Stroke Foundation. To send condolences please visit www.cauls.ca.
Dad, Poppy….
Heaven has received another angel,
The night sky another star.
Your life has become a loving memory,
We know you will never be far.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Stephen Isadore Parsley 2022..
