William Moody “Bill” Parry, age 82, went to be with his Lord at Summer Hill Assisted Living in Oak Harbor, Wash., Saturday, Nov. 1, 2014. He died peacefully after an extended illness.

Born in Knoxville, Tenn., Bill lived in East Tennessee and Georgia for many years before settling in Washington. Bill attended Family Bible Church in Oak Harbor.

An educator with a passion for innovation, Bill integrated computer technology into his high school science classroom in the early 1980s, long before this was commonplace. Bill completed his master’s degree and all coursework for his Ph.D. in education.

Bill is survived by his devoted wife of 52 years, Betty Davidson Parry; his son, Bill Parry, of Bellevue; a brother, Walter Parry, of Oregon; and two grandchildren.

The memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 29, at Family Bible Church on Heller Road.
