Alyce L. Parsons VIRGINIA BEACH - Alyce L. Parsons exchanged her earthly existence Oct. 20, 2010, for a heavenly one. She had fought a courageous battle against esophageal cancer for three years. Born on a ranch in Eastern Washington in 1927, she grew up in Sumner, Wash., a "small town, USA" in the beautiful Puyallup valley. Upon graduation from high school, she entered and completed nurses training at George Mason Hospital and the University of Seattle. Subsequently, she moved to Honolulu, Hawaii to specialize in being an operating room nurse. On a blind date in 1952, she met a Marine lieutenant stationed at Pearl Harbor. Two months later, Alyce and Tom were married. That chance encounter led to 30 years of happiness and adventure as the wife of a career Marine. That life included 26 moves, living in a military environment, several years without Dad around while Tom served overseas, countless friends, and, most importantly, four children, one of whom died shortly after birth. Following Marine retirement, Alyce and Tom spent nine years at the Marine Military Academy in Harlingen, Texas, 17 in Virginia Beach, and five in Matthews, N.C., to where they relocated to be near their oldest daughter. They celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary on Oct. 18. Survivors are retired U.S. Marine Corps Colonel Tom Parsons, Mrs. Terry Dawson and husband Doug of Charlotte, Mrs. Alyce Parsons Christie, and husband Russell of Inglis, Fla., Tom Parsons Jr. of Charlotte, and granddaughter Christine Dawson of Charlotte. Alyce was greatly loved and loving, compassionate, considerate, and practical. She accepted without complaint what life dealt her. She knew that her earthly legacy was three fine children and she was comforted by this knowledge. She firmly believed that a day was not a good one unless its routine included a 6 p.m. break for the nightly news and refreshments. She will be missed. In accordance with her wishes, no memorial services will be held and the funeral services, which will take place at the National Cemetery at Quantico, Va., will be for family only. In lieu of flowers, please make memorial donations to the charity of your choice. |

Hyman Hy Gordan LOS ANGELES - Hyman Hy Gordon died Oct. 23, 2010. Born in Portsmouth June 25, 1928, he was predeceased by his parents, Ruby Joseph and Sarah Gordon; daughter, Janet Gordon; and sister, Audrey Danoff. Survivors include a son, Ruben Joseph Gordon and two granddaughters, Rio Ren'ee James and Debbie Gordon, all of Los Angeles; a brother, Alvin Gordon and wife Elaine of Memphis, Tenn.; his dear friend, Margo; and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Hy loved to learn about new things and worked at a variety of jobs in his life. Late in life, he sold time shares and prepared taxes for H&R Block. Hy did not live to work, he worked to live. He did not wish to amass worldly possessions. This philosophy allowed him to work, then travel and keep the cycle going. World travel was a great focus and his explorations took him across several continents to Asia, India, North America, Australia and Europe. Bathing in the Ganges and communing with his guru were signal moments for Hy, but his daily walks on the beach on both coasts of America were just as important. Laughter, loving, giving and sharing were so important to Hy Gordon. His spirit of adventure lives on in his favorite words, "Why not?" His positive nature endeared him to people of all ages and walks of life. Hy was a man who was forever young. He embraced new ideas and choices, loved meeting new people, and never knew a stranger. Music was important to him and he amassed quite a collection of all types. He was also a gifted writer; his descriptive letters were a joy to receive as he traveled abroad. He loved the outdoors, enjoyed hiking in all terrains, and appreciated all of nature. He always had a fun ride and even named some of his cars: "Buttercup," a large yellow Dodge van and "Old Paint," a white Honda Prelude. In Florida, he owned a dark blue convertible Miata. A funeral will be held Wednesday, Oct. 27, at noon in Gomley Chesed Synagogue by Rabbi David Goldstein. Burial will be in Gomley Chesed Cemetery. Sturtevant Funeral Home, Portsmouth Blvd. Chapel, is handling arrangements. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to a charity of your choice. www.SturtevantFuneralHome.com. |
