August 20, 2004 – December 14, 2020

Dutchess Pardee (16) entered into Heaven this day, 14 December 2020 at Rolling Hills Animal Clinic in Pontotoc. She was laid to rest at her home in Belden. She was preceeded in death by her grandparents Kevin and Barbara Pardee of Thaxton, her uncles Sherman and Toby Hollingsworth of Sherman, and her aunts Wendy and Missy Pardee of Thaxton. She is survived by her parents Charissa and James Pardee, her sisters Addison and Lillyan Pardee of Belden, her grandparents Nevedia and Bill Hollingsworth of Sherman, and a great many human, canine, and feline aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Her life was full of joy and happiness as she made friends with many animals and people. Her best friend was her canine aunt Wendy until her death. Dutchess made a most recent friend in her puppy aunt Sophie Hollingsworth. They were the best of friends in her later years. Dutchess took it upon herself to teach Sophie how to handle her human parents. She enjoyed opening presents, playing with squeak toys, and learning with her sisters during school.

Dutchess will be sorely missed by all those that knew her.

We know that she is now in Heaven with her Father.
