She is survived by her husband Reg, sons Tim (Susan) and Glenn (Kathi)  and daughter Richelle, grandchildren Caitlin (Chad), Hilary (Corey), Jennifer and Ryan, and great-grandson Liam.  She is also survived by her sister Pheobe and many nieces and nephews.

    I was so sorry to read of Mrs. Parlee’s passing in today’s Chronicle Herald. I remember your mom, Richelle, from teaching you piano so many years ago in Glen Haven and having you in school at Glengarry for music. She was so sweet and kind, and brought me the most delicious lobster sandwiches! We had some great chats, your mom and I. My deepest sympathies to you all on your loss.
    With love and prayers,

    To: Glen

    So sad to hear of your moms passing. Glen I will never forget the time your mom took me and you to your cottage near Liverpool. I think we were in squirt as I was only about 11 or 12 yrs old. I think we drove in a big blue car. I remember it was near Liverpool, far from everything and in the middle of nowhere. Your mom however, I remember quite vividly did everything she could to keep us happy and fed.

    My Sincere sympathy I send from Vancouver BC.
