Julie Tyska
A 'Jersey girl' with Maine roots who enjoyed time with family
Julie was born on Oct. 20, 1937, daughter of the late Kenneth Hamilton Parsons and June Smith Parsons. After many moves as a child, she considered Montclair, N.J., and Norway, Maine, her hometowns. She was a "Jersey girl" with Maine roots. Her favorite childhood memories were going to the Jersey Shore and the coast of Maine.
Julie graduated from Montclair High School, attended the University of Connecticut, and worked in New York City before marrying her husband, Lou, and raising their four children. She was predeceased by her husband of 55 years in 2014, as well as her son, Kevin, in 2008.
Her most treasured moments were times spent with her family: son, Craig Tyska and his wife, Donna, from Guilford, Conn.; son, Chris Tyska from Hollis, N.H.; daughter, Asha and her husband, Mark McLaughlin, from Williamsburg, Va., and daughter-in-law Cyd Tyska from Natick, Mass.
She especially treasured her time with her eight adoring grandchildren, Jessica, Kayla, Kendra, Jake, Ellie, Samantha, Oliver, and Lucian. Julie also leaves a brother, the Rev. Timothy Parsons and his wife, Sue, from Norway, Maine, and niece, Frances, from California, as well as sister-in-law, Ginger McHale from Fort Myers, Fla. She also leaves many special cousins.
