Beverly Parsons

Beverly Parsons went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Friday, August 22, 2025. She was born July 8, 1937, in Detroit, Michigan to Sterlie and Julia Kelsheimer whom precede her in death. She was the oldest of two children. Her sister, Donna Parrill has also preceded her in death.

She married Chuck White on October 20, 1956. She then married Dick Parson on June 1, 1996. They both precede her in death.

She was a very loving mom and grandma. She always took time to play with her children and grandchildren. She taught us how to sing and dance. Most importantly, she taught us about God and how to love. She is survived by her three children, Charles White, Peggy Host, and Tina Bailey. She is also survived by six grandchildren, Kayla Youker, Peyton Jansik, Wyatt Host, Kamdyn White, Kaston White and London White.

She resided in Champaign-Urbana IL from 1964 to 1996, Mahomet, IL from 1996 to 2024, and Aspen Trace Family-First Senior Living in Indianapolis from 2024 until her death. She retired from Carle Hospital in Urbana, IL.

She never knew a stranger. She always had a hug and a smile for everyone she met. She was loved by many and will be sorely missed.

Her service will be held on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, at Sunset Funeral Home and Cremation Center’s Champaign Chapel 710 N. Neil St. Champaign, IL. 61820 at 1pm. A visitation will be held from 11am-1pm prior to the service. Beverly will be interred at Grandview Memorial Gardens in Champaign.
