Mary A. Parsons

Mary A. Parsons, 54, of Camdenton, Missouri, passed away at Lake Regional Health System in Osage Beach on March 11, 2026. Born on January 5, 1972, in St. Louis, Missouri, she married Ralph Parsons in October 2002, and the couple shared 23 loving years together.

Mary found deep contentment in life’s quiet pleasures. She enjoyed relaxing with her favorite television shows, especially Walker, Texas Ranger, which she watched repeatedly with quiet delight. A cold Mountain Dew was one of her simple indulgences, often enjoyed while settled in front of the television or in the company of those she loved. She cherished her collection of angel figurines, each one holding special meaning and reflecting her gentle spirit. Her pets received the same tender care she extended so freely to everyone around her. Above all, family and friends were the heart of her world. Her husband Ralph was the center of her life, the person she loved most deeply.

She is survived by her husband, Ralph Parsons; her children, Deborah Scheffeler, Krisin Scheffeler, Kim Walters (Dennis), and Kenneth Parsons; six grandchildren; two nephews; and many other relatives and friends. Mary was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Tony Moore.
