Winnie Parrish Apperson

Winnie Parrish Apperson 1928-2024 Winnie Parrish Apperson, died peacefully early Tuesday morning, Jan 23, 2024, at the age of 95, in Raleigh, NC. She was a much-loved wife, mother grandmother, and great-grandmother. The family is so grateful that she is at peace and is with my father in heaven. She was born in Covington County, Alabama. After high school she moved to Birmingham to pursue a business degree. She met her future husband, Charles, in Birmingham. She worked as a secretary before she had children. Besides loving her family, she loved gardening and reading. Her love of books, led her to serve in the library at Springmoor Retirement Community where she and her husband lived at for 24 years. She was proceeded in death by Charles Hamilton Apperson, her husband of 70 years. She is survived by her children, Bonita, Sharon and Chuck (Charles Hamilton Jr. and wife, Wendy). Her greatest joy was spending time with her grandchildren, John Charles (Elizabeth), Eva Michelle (Ben) and great granddaughters Emmaleigh and Emerson. In the last week, she met her newest great granddaughter, Emerson. The family would like to thank her Springmoor neighbors, the Springmoor staff and nurses, and Transitions Life Care for all they did for my mother during the last two weeks. I am personally so grateful for each and every person. We are also very grateful for friends who helped my sister and I as we cleaned her apartment. In lieu of flowers, please consider giving in Winnie’s honor to the Springmoor Endowment Fund. A small family service will be held in February.
