Charlie Parrish and Brenda Ganze were married July 18, 1969 at Pursley Baptist Church and celebrated their 40th anniversary Saturday. The couple own a country store on FM 709, and Brenda is a hairdresser in Corsicana at the Golden Hairpin.
They have resided in Purdon for their entire lives and have raised many children. They have two children of their own, Jennifer L. Parrish and Kyle H. Parrish and a soon-to-be daughter-in-law, Rebecca Sayre.
The Parrishes are hoping for many more years of married bliss, and a small family dinner will take place to commemorate their accomplishment.
