Ralph Olin Parrish, age 76, of Temple, Georgia, passed away on September 7, 2026. He was born February 6, 1950, in Carrollton, Georgia, the son of the late Larence Roy and Mildred Wester Parrish. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Jimmy Parrish, Sr.

Those left to cherish his memory are his loving wife, Ann Wilson Parrish; sons, Kyle Parrish and Justin (Christy) Parrish; sister, Joan Cain; brother, Lawrence (Margaret) Parrish; grandchildren, Morgan (Avery) Lepard and Austin Parrish; and great-granddaughter, Sawyer Lepard.

From an early age, he worked alongside his family at Parrish Cabinet Company. He then proudly and selflessly served his country in the National Guard. He later became a cattle and poultry farmer and then went on to work with his brother, Lawrence, at Parrish Appliance.

Ralph was a lifetime member of Center Point Global Methodist Church, where he was loved and respected by many for his strong faith and devotion. He was a great provider who made sure his family never lacked for anything. Ralph was happiest when he was working on various projects around the farm but, most of all, making memories with his family and especially his grandchildren. His love for his family, his strong faith, and his generous spirit will be remembered and cherished by all who knew him.
