Tamra Leslie Parsons, 56, of Charleston passed from this life on Friday, November 7, 2025, at Select Specialty Hospital after an extended illness. 

 She was preceded in death by her mother, Ruth “Gay” Parsons, brother Charles “Chuck” Parsons, paternal and maternal grandparents.

Tamra is survived by her twin sister, Tonya Barker of Charleston, father and stepmom, Charles and Toby Parsons, of Alum Creek, sister Kimbra Clinton of Bancroft and brother Chester “Chet” Parsons (Melissa) of Alum Creek, many neices, nephews and extended family members.

Tamra will be remembered for her kindness and willingness to help others. A jack of all trades, master of most; she was first call for many in times of crisis.

Tamra loved the outdoors, solo camping on the Cranberry and fishing anywhere she could. Her kindness didn’t stop at humans, and as helpful as she was, she’d rather hang out with animals. She will be laid to rest with her dogs. And now her watch has ended.

Graveside service will be held at 1:30pm on Sunday, November 23rd at Given Cemetery, in Given, WV.  In case of rain the service will be held at the Given Church located at 4656 Shamblin Run Rd Given WV.
