Pam Parrot - wife, mother, friend

Parrot, Pamela “Pam” (nee Thompson) 83, passed away, Monday, February 24, 2025. Pam was born in Louisville, Kentucky, the daughter of Mildred Haury and Windell Thompson. Pam loved her family fiercely, cherished her friendships deeply, and touched so many through her volunteer endeavors over the years. 

Pam made friends everywhere she went and in each of the communities that she and Ted called “home,” including Ohio, Connecticut, Kansas, Utah, New Hampshire, and even overseas in Holland. Her zest for life showed up in her volunteer work for multiple museums, a school for children with visual impairments, and various Newcomers affiliations. More recently she was a constant volunteer for Forester’s Farm, a St. Louis nonprofit organization started by her daughter. 

Pam was happiest at the family vacation home in Stoddard, New Hampshire, where she and Ted spent their summers and weekends, often with their girls and just as often with friends. She loved to host dinner parties and cook while sipping chardonnay. She adored winters and playing in the snow, skiing and sledding with her girls. In the summer, she could be found paddling in the lake or playing golf. She loved animals, particularly Kama’s cats and her grand animals on Erika’s farm. 

Regardless of where she and Ted lived, Pam would find the museums and could walk their halls for hours, easily outlasting anyone who dared venture out with her. 

Pam was warmth, she was joy, and she was a quiet and steady force in the lives of so many. She will be deeply missed by those she spent her life loving, most closely her best friend and husband Ted Louis Parrot and her two daughters Erika (Ryan) Beeler and Kama (Devin) Giedra. 

Services:   Memorial parties will be held at Friendship Village Chesterfield in May and at Point Parrot in August. Presently, in lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to The Currier Museum (https://currier.org/) or Forester’s Farm (https://www.forestersfarm.org/).
