September 1, 2012


A GLORIOUS DAY - Virginia Whitson Parker has joined John, Pat Thune, Edith Anderson and so many others in her heavenly home.

She left this earth early Saturday morning Sept 1, 2012 after a restful night. The timing was most likely chosen once John finished painting and installing shelves in their new mansion. :-)

Virginia lived a faithful life as wife, mother and encourager. Many lives and marriages are changed today as a result of her life. We are grateful for all she has meant to us and are thankful for her faithful example.

A memorial service is planned for Sunday afternoon at 3:30 Sept 16th at Yorba Linda Friends Church in Yorba Linda CA. For a map http://goo.gl/maps/AJ9Ab Service details are available from the church office at 714-777-2875.

Cards and notes may be sent to Howard Parker, 5126 Lakeview Ave, Yorba Linda CA 92886 and email to family@parkers.net. We will be adding your comments and thoughts to this website as they come in.
John and Virginia:
One of my earlier recollections of you two is when you visited our family when we lived in Prescott, AZ. Even as a grade school student I was into cars and I remember you drove a 1959 four-door Chevy station wagon. I think it was either green or yellow in color and I believe it was new. I also have fond memories of the year I attended Marantha Bible Camp and you and some others drove a bunch of us down from Murdo. At one of the Murdo church reunions (either in 1990 or 1997) I had a really good visit with John on church leadership and I still value the things I learned from that conversation. So, it's good to catch up on what you're doing and my God's richest blessings continue to be yours.
