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.

I just wanted to express my deepest sympathy to the entire Parker family in the passing of John.  I know what he meant to my family (Stan and Pam Smith) way back when my parents were raising their kids (us) in the 60's and 70's.  Growing up knowing the names John and Virginia Parker was part of my life, I'm sure the same story as many of you.  John is no doubt an icon in Yorba Linda and Yorba Linda Friends Church.  Although John is where we all want to be someday, he will be greatly missed by countless people, touching so many lives, and doing what the Lord called Him to do.  I will continue to pray for all of you during this time, especially Virginia.
