Mari Parsons, 62
June 24, 1961 – March 31, 2024
Mari was known for her infectious, outgoing personality and was always up for having a good time. She embodied doing what she loved, whether it be riding her motorcycle, boating, camping out on the islands, learning how to skydive, enjoying new restaurants where she’d order every appetizer on the menu, going to concerts like Reggae Rise Up in St. Pete or relaxing and enjoying a beautiful Michigan sunset from her back porch in Whitehall.
She enjoyed traveling the world and experiencing new things. She instilled that in her children, whom she took to Ireland, England, Australia, Costa Rica, and many cruises from a very young age. She was fortunate to visit all 7 continents in her lifetime, after her most recent 40-day cruise that went to Antarctica. She was in the midst of planning her last bucket list destination to South Africa. This part of her life is highlighted in her written last wishes that expressed her desire for the “kids” and certain members of the family take a 7-day cruise in her honor. She truly lived a full life.
While all that was how many people knew her; what she should be most remembered for and her true legacy she leaves behind is the impact she had on people from all walks of life. Mari spent her entire life dedicated to helping children born into bad situations at no fault of their own. She dedicated countless hours to cases involving divorce, abuse, drugs, and children in harm’s way with no motive other than to give those children a better chance at life, which they deserved. There is a reason everyone calls her “Mother Mari”.
She will be joining her mother, Kathleen McAuliffe, sister, Kathy Rabach, father, Dr. Frank Parsons, brother, Frankie Parsons, her long-time dog, Haley and many of her close friends that she missed dearly.
She is survived by her husband, Stanley “Stan” James Brosko. Her sons, Skylar Viviano and “Baby” Hayden Viviano, her brother, Bill Parsons (Bridget Parsons), Gregory Zimmerman, who was like a son to her, step-son, Stanley J. Brosko Jr., and her beloved dog Riley.
While Mari will be forever missed, we know she flies high with angel wings. Mari always said, she “loved love”, and we hope you find comfort in knowing she loved each of her friends and family so deeply. She left nothing unsaid and made sure she told each person how much they meant to her. We hope that each of you will honor her memory and leave nothing left unsaid. Take the trip, enjoy the water, sit and soak in the sunset. Tomorrow is never promised.
The family will receive friends Thursday, April 11th, 5-7:00pm at St. Lukes Catholic Church, Micco, Florida.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be Friday, April 12th, 11:00am at the church.
