Tabitha N. Parrett

It is with the deepest sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Tabitha "Tabby" Parrett, 35, on the morning of August 1, 2026, after a courageous battle with cancer. Though her time with us was far too short, the love she shared and the memories she created will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

Tabby was a devoted mother of her three cherished children, Bentley, Carsyn, and Hazley. They were the center of her world, and nothing brought her greater joy than watching them learn, grow, laugh, and pursue the things they loved. She was their biggest supporter, fiercest protector, and their greatest source of unconditional love.

She is survived by her loving parents, Laura Miller and Jim Harris. She also leaves behind her siblings, Miranda (Cory) Compton of Van Wert, Nathan (Jordan) Harris of Van Wert, and Emily (Nick) Ryder of Florida; along with the father of two of her children, Justin Parrett; and many extended family members and friends who loved her deeply.

Tabby was a proud aunt to Elijah, Ayden, Parker, Isaiah, Journie, Emma, Kaiden, Chloe, Asher, Ellie, and Colsen. She treasured every opportunity to cheer them on, whether it was at sporting events, school activities, birthdays, or everyday moments. Her smile could always be found in the crowd, celebrating the people she loved most.

Tabby had a beautiful heart that put others before herself. She found happiness in the simple moments spent with family, making memories that will be cherished forever. Her kindness, strength, laughter, and unwavering love touched countless lives.

A special bond existed between Tabby and her sister, Miranda, who was also her devoted caregiver throughout her illness. Miranda stood faithfully by Tabby's side, offering endless love, comfort, strength, and compassion every step of the way. Their bond was one that words can scarcely describe, and Tabby's absence will be felt every day. She will be deeply and forever missed by Miranda, whose love and dedication gave Tabby comfort throughout her journey.

Although our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing that Tabby is finally at peace, free from pain, and surrounded by everlasting love. Her legacy lives on through her children, her family, and everyone fortunate enough to have known her.

She will be remembered for her beautiful spirit, her incredible strength, her unconditional love, and the way she made those around her feel seen, valued, and loved.
