Beverly "Fifi" Louise Parham's Obituary
Beverly (Fifi) Louise Parham passed away peacefully on October 1, 2025. Born in Belgrade, North Carolina, on June 28, 1938, Beverly lived her 87 years as a shining example of unconditional love, grace, and gentle strength. She was beautiful, kind, wise, and witty, and she always created a safe, loving space for everyone she knew. She truly embodied love and compassion.
Beverly married the love of her life, Donald Parham, in March of 1966. Together they raised three children — Randy, Stephanie, and Steven — and built a home filled with laughter, warmth, and family. For 51 years in that home, Beverly hosted countless celebrations and gatherings. As “Fifi,” she poured her heart into her grandchildren’s lives, showing up with love, encouragement, and joy in everything they did.
Beverly loved to travel and found peace and happiness at the beach. Some of her fondest memories were made during summer trips with her family to the beaches of her beloved North Carolina.
She was a devoted friend, known for her quick wit, wisdom, and unwavering belief in the goodness of people. Her laughter was infectious, her humor unmatched, and every memory of her feels like a warm embrace.
Beverly is survived by her husband of 59 years, Donald; her children Randy; Stephanie and her husband, Matt; and Steven and his wife, Pamela. She also leaves behind her grandchildren — Drew and his wife, Hollie; Pearson; Emerie; Hayley; and Cameron — and her great-grandchildren, Gray and Cora. She is preceded in death by her father, Leo; her mother, Mildred; her brother, Billy; and her daughter-in-law, Barbara.
Though Beverly will be deeply missed, her love lives on in every heart she touched and every act of kindness she inspired.
Beverly. Fifi. Mom. We love you so very much.
