Mary was a treasured member of the Parker family. She always was caring and loving to all. We have many special memories of vacations Steve and I took with Jack & Mary to Bermuda and Mexico and family gatherings. She will be sorely missed.

What to say that is not the same as all the above? Mary and I shared the sis-in- law label along with Pat, and I think we,felt very happy to wear the Parker name. She made a point to visit us in every move across this beautiful country and generously took two vacations to Hawaii that this sis-in-law planned. We had so many laughs and scares making eternal memories! The ride to Hana was one of the wild ones when we almost screamed with fear. We shared a loyalty to the UM church and many concerns for it as well. From Psalms I recall these words from heaven. "Blessed in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints"... She lived as a true Saint! Louise

Mary and I became friends in Omaha, Nebraska when our children were very young. We remained friends over all these years. She was a loyal and steadfast friend that you could call for prayer and support. I have wonderful memories from my days in Omaha but the sweetest is of Mary. She had a beautiful soul that I know is resting in Christ. My love to Jack and the family.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

This has been said before, but Mary was one of the sweetest people I ever knew. Her Savior just shone out of her. We graduated from CHS class of '62 together and served on several reunion committees together. She shall surely be missed . Rest in peace my dear friend. I am have absolutely no doubt that you heard , " Well done my good and faithful servant " from your Lord.

Mary was the sweetest person you would want in your family.
With three older brothers Mary was like a breath of fresh air.
Always helpful and offering good advice when asked. When I
needed a wedding dress she said "why not wear mine". She was
always looking after everyone. She shared her love of the Lord
and really knew the bible. She will be greatly missed by all. My
brother Jack was lucky to have her in his life and I know he loved
her so very much!

Mary was the epitome of grace, class, and elegance. I always loved when she used to stop by the library where I work, and we would have the opportunity to chat about books we were reading, or just life in general. I am so truly sorry for your loss; this beautiful woman was a gift on earth and will be so missed. Thinking of your family during this time.
Love, Sarah (Brendlinger) Kramer

Mary has been my best friend since high school. She was a very special friend and always seemed to have the right advise whenever I had a problem. Her spirituality guided me in the right direction many times through my life and I will always be grateful for her friendship. We had many wonderful times together and I will always cherish those memories. I will miss her terribly but I know she is smiling and at peace.
