Mary Alyce Walters Parsons was born April 3, 1930, to Bessie and Johnie Walters in Winnsboro, LA and passed away peacefully from this life on July 27, 2025. She was 95 years old. She graduated from Winnsboro High School and went on to Louisiana Tech where she graduated as a Home Economics teacher. She married Robert Bain Parsons in 1958. They made their home in Illinois, Tulsa, and Houston. After her husband’s death she moved to Monroe to be close to family.

Mary Alyce had a heart for helping other people. Her love of sewing not only brought her great joy but benefited many people through making clothes, quilts, and participating in the ministry of making baby quilts at her church. She also had a passion to help with the Louisiana Baptist Children’s Home in Monroe.

Mary Alyce was an only child, but she had a huge family of cousins that were as close as brothers and sisters to her. She loved her family immensely and her church family as well. She was a faithful member of Lea Joyner Methodist Church. She loved her Sunday School class, her Tuesday morning Bible Study, the worship services, and being in the senior choir.

She was preceded in death by her mother and father, Bessie Buzby Walters and Johnie Henry Walters, husband Robert Bain Parsons, and many beloved cousins.

If desired, memorials may be made to Louisiana Children’s Home in honor of Mary Alyce.
