"Les" Clarence Leslie Parsons, 71, of Cottonwood, left this world August 18, 2010. He was born July 12, 1939 in St. Helena, California to Lillian Deloris Forkner and William Jordan Parsons. He was surpassed in death by his wife, "Kandy" Eddwinnia Parsons, in 2000. He is survived by his daughters Valorie (Johnny) Montiel, Jeannetta (Rob), Barbara (Joe) Ruch, nine grandchildren, two great grandchildren, his brother Jack Parsons, and sister Lorie Vanderhayden. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him deeply. Don\u0027t cry for him, he is free from the pain and sickness of this world. The struggle is finished. His work here is done. His soul is free and at rest. He has moved on after finishing the trials of this life. He is finally at peace. He knows how much we loved him, as much as he loved us. Forever in our hearts. There are no public services planned, only an "Irish Wake." Contact Valorie. Information provided by survivors.
