She was deeply loved and will always be missed.  Marietta is survived by her sons and their wives: Jay and Michelle Parrish, Steven and Tanya Parrish, and Ashley and Sue Ellen Parrish, and step-sons and their wives:  Ricky and Brandi Watkins, and Donnie and Cheryl Watkins, along with all her beloved grandchildren:  Noah, Drake, Kloe, Riley, Jonah, Leslie, Matthew, Devon, Nicholas, Haynes, Ronnie, Baylen, McKenzie, and Kayleigh.  She is also survived by her brothers:  Jimmy and his wife Marcie, Alvin, and David Bryant; sister-in-law Joanna Gaines, aunt Katie Hutchinson, and cousin Clovia Bunch, along with all of her nieces and nephews.  Marietta is preceded in death by her parents James and Ruby Bryant, and her beloved husband James Watkins.  A special thank you is extended to all those not listed who lovingly touched her life and helped care for her.
