George W. Parsons, Jr., a longtime resident of North Reading passed away
suddenly at his home on May 11, 2025. He was 93 years of age. George was born
in Everett, Massachusetts on February 26, 1932, the son of the late George W. and
Clara A. (Farnell) Parsons.

George was a long-time resident of North Reading. He sang in the choir for a local
church. He worked more than 30 years as a mechanical design engineer and held
several patents. He travelled extensively with Barbara, from camping to cruises.
They also square danced together.

George liked a good joke but often laughed too hard to finish telling it because he
knew the punchline. He was very handy. There was nothing he couldn't build or
fix.

George was the beloved husband of the late Barbara B. (Crilley) Parsons. Devoted
father of Donna Jarvis and her husband Norman of Cottage Grove OR, Robert A.
Parsons and his wife Nicole of Haymarket, VA, Judy Parsons-Kerins and her
husband Craig of Brookline, NH and the late Barbara Keene. Loving grandfather
of 6 and great grandfather of 4 and cherished brother of Jean Mead.

the Douglass, Edgerley and Bessom Funeral Home 25 Sanborn St. (corner of Woburn St.) Reading at
11am. Burial to follow at Riverside Cemetery in North Reading.  There are no visiting hours.
