Judie Marie Parmley, 78, passed away on April 7th, 2023, in Little Rock, Arkansas. She was born in De Witt, Arkansas on February 24, 1945, to the late Elmer Aaron Dodson and Nellie Mae Cleaver Dodson. Judie enjoyed gardening and grew a variety of vegetables but was known most for her tomatoes. She would either jar, can, freeze, or give away her yearly bounty. She also loved to grow various flowers, from vinca, and roses, to rooster combs. Judie cherished spending time with her family, from gathering for the holidays, to finding any excuse to get together for barbecues, and fish frys. It was not only family, but Judie also entertained visitors at the house - if they took their shoes off before coming inside! She was a kid at heart who loved the old cartoons featuring Tom & Jerry, Bugs Bunny, and the Road Runner. Judie is preceded in death by her parents, Elmer, and Nellie; two sons, Leroy Wolfe, and James Wolfe; six siblings, Jewel Henley, Bonnie Jackson, Christine Turnage, James Dodson, Elmer Dodson, and Lois Criswell. Those remaining to cherish her memory are husband of 40 years, Charles Parmley; daughter, Jeanette (Tim) Cummings, of Pindall, AR; six siblings, Ivy (late George) Boyster, Alice (Vernon) Caldwell, Eldon Dodson, all of Clarendon, Paul Dodson, of Salem, and Ronnie (Brenda) Dodson, of Hot Springs; granddaughter, Jamie Torres, Topeka KS; three great-grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews; along with a host of other family and friends. A graveside service will be held at 1:00 pm on Friday, April 14th at Shady Grove Cemetery, Clarendon. The family will accept visitors at Brown Funeral Home, Clarendon from 12:30 pm to 1:00 pm the same day. www.fowlerfh.com
