Maurice Dane Parten
d. May 21, 2015
Maurice Dane Parten, a resident of Long Beach, age 83, died on Thursday, May 21, 2015.
Maurice was born in Springfield, Missouri to William and Neva Parten. He was a graduate of Okanogan High School in Washington State and served in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War as an aircraft mechanic. He retired after 26 years and received the U.S. Air Force Commendation Medal for Meritorious Service at Nakhom Phantom AFB of Thailand. After military service, Maurice worked at Sears in the appliances and parts division. He had many hobbies that included gardening, restoring antiques, and making toys for his grandchildren. Perhaps more than anything, Maurice will be remembered for his great sense of humor.
Maurice was preceded in death by his wife, Helen Jo McRaney Parten; his brothers, Charles, Delford, and James Parten; and his sisters, Maranell and Martha Sue.
He is survived by his sons, Jon Ty (and Laurie) Parten of Issaquah, WA and Josh Lamar Parten of Long Beach; his daughter, Dana (and Tommy) Wittmann of Gulfport; his grandchildren, Jon and Elissa Parten, Kristi and Marian Wittmann, Samantha Ryals, and Abigail Parten.
Services will be held Thursday, May 28, 2015 at 11:00 am at RIEMANN FAMILY FUNERAL HOME, 19130 Commission Road in Long Beach. Friends may visit one hour prior to the service. Burial will follow at Long Beach City Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be made to The Healing Room, 45 Hardy Ct., Box 281, Gulfport, MS 39507.
