Obituary of Odessa Cheyenne Parsons

It is with broken hearts that the family of Odessa Parsons announce her untimely passing which occurred on Friday, July 21, 2023.  Born on March 27, 1986 in Ottawa, ON, she was the daughter of Jacqueline Bray (Leonard) and the late Rupert Parsons and the step-daughter of Trudy (Parsons) Kingsland.

Odessa had the ability to light up any room that she entered, and you simply had no choice but to like this woman with the beautiful smile.  She loved to visit Grand Manan, a place where she enjoyed much happiness and peace.  Odessa also took great comfort in the ocean and spent numerous hours at the beach.  She loved music and dancing and was a wonderful cook.  Odessa always had a special place in her heart for animals and especially loved her dogs.  Most of all, Odessa adored and loved her children, and she was so proud of all their accomplishments.

Besides her mother and step-mother, Odessa is survived by her precious children, Joshua, Noah, Christian, Sahara and Keyauna; siblings, Amanda Dinsmore (Dave), Jonathan McAdam, Samantha Gullison (Wade), Lee-Ann Stokes (Ryan), Kevin Parsons (Meghan), Adrian Jones (Nikki), Christopher Jones, Karen Parsons, William Parsons (Roxanne) and Lori Humphrey (Billy); as well as several nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.  In addition to her father, she was predeceased by her sister, Kimberley Riley.
