Betty J. Parman Obituary

Betty Jane Parman (age 91) of East Troy went to be with the Lord on January 31st, 2024 at Angels Grace Hospice in Oconomowoc. Her son Dan was with her when she passed. Betty suffered a stroke suddenly on the morning of January 25th while living at Brolen Park in East Troy. Betty was rushed to Waukesha Memorial Hospital and entered hospice on January 26th.

She was a savvy entrepreneur, fierce matriarch, loyal friend and dedicated keeper of stories. A pillar of the community, Betty sat on numerous boards and committees, wrote a column for the local paper and was always stopped for a chat almost everywhere she went in the community. Many people found their home through Main Street Realty, a business Betty co-owned with Ken Pluess. The building that housed Main Street Realty remains a fixture of the East Troy Square, and is now occupied by the Square Side Boutique.

Betty was preceded in death by her husband Arthur Parman, parents EJ (Bob) and Millie Billings, daughter Nancy Marino and grandson Joel Marino. She is survived by Dan (Beth) Parman, son-in-law Lou Marino, grandchildren Emily (Wayne) Stam, Dominick (Hillary) Marino, Ben Parman and Brian (Linda) Joyce, and great-grandchildren Mia, Coen, Joanna and Audra Marino and EJ Stam. A celebration of life will take place this summer in East Troy.

“I just saw the notice about Betty's passing. David & I attended East Troy Congregational Church where we fell in love with Art & Betty. They were such a wonderful example of loving, kind, caring individuals--the kind of people we all want to be. They did so much for the church over the years. Dave and I stopped attending the church over time, but we never forgot them. No doubt they will watch over the good people of East Troy from their place on high. Our condolences. Dave & Darlene Lange”

“I first got to know Betty when her mother was at Kiwanis Manor. Such a warm and loving family. I would occasionally run into Betty around town and she would always stop and chat. She will be missed. My condolences to this family.”

“I'm so sorry to hear of Betty's passing. We were members of the same church when I was growing up and she always had good advice and direction suggestions. I remember her as a very upbeat and vibrant person.”
