Inez Marie Parquette

In Loving Memory of Inez Marie Parquette “Dream Angel Nezzy” June 17, 1962 -- August 5, 2026 There are some people who leave footprints on your heart that can never be erased. For us, that person was Inez Marie Parquette. On August 5, 2026, our world changed forever when we lost a woman who was far too beautiful, far too vibrant, and far too full of life to leave us so soon. There are no words big enough to describe the emptiness her passing has left behind. We only know that life will never be the same without her. Inez had a light in her that was impossible to miss. She was the kind of person who could walk into any room to make anyone smile and make friends wherever she went. Her laughter, her warmth, and her ability to make people feel loved were gifts she gave so freely. She didn’t simply enter people’s lives; she left a piece of her heart behind in them. She spent much of her life caring for others through her work in healthcare. She took immense pride in caring for people, and their families, giving them compassion and kindness when they needed it most. Caring for others wasn't simply something she did; it was part of who she was. She had a heart that was always willing to give, even when she had little to give herself. But her greatest love was for her family. She loved her three children, Joseph, Douglas, and Destinee, with every part of her being. She gave us everything she had and raised us the best way she knew how, with a heart full of love and a determination to give us a life filled with memories, laughter, and love. She was our mother, our safe place, our biggest supporter, and our greatest source for unconditional love. Being a grandmother to her 10 grandchildren was another joy that filled her heart. She treasured her grandchildren and looked forward to every opportunity she had to visit with them, make memories with them and simply be near them. Each of them carries a piece of her love with them, and her memory will forever live on through them. Inez believed that life was meant to be lived. She always said, “Life is too short not to.” And she tried to live by those words. She dreamed, she loved, she laughed, and she tried her best to make everyone around her happy, even when she would put herself last. She wanted to experience everything life had to offer, and most importantly, wanted to make the most of the time she had with the people she loved. Inez is survived by her children, Joseph, Douglas, and Destinee; her grandchildren, Haylee, Callie, Daniel, Sylvia, Matthew, Miracle, Neveah, Joseph III, Madison, and Hailey; her siblings, Walt, Emily, Robert, Carl, and Judy, along with countless extended family members and friends whose lives were forever changed simply by knowing her. Inez is preceded in death by her beloved mother, Carol; her father, Robert; her brothers, Kerry and Allen; and her sister, Gayle. And now we are left wishing; we had just one more moment. She was loved by so many, and that love did not disappear when she left us. It remains in every memory, photograph, every story, every laugh that reminds us of her, and in every person whose life she touched. Her life may have ended far sooner than any of us were ready for, but her love will never have an ending. Inez, you were loved more deeply than you could ever have known. You gave us a lifetime of love in the time we were blessed to have you, and we will spend the rest of ours carrying that love with us. You will forever be a part of us. We love you. We miss you.
