Palmer Marler

Patricia Ann Parker of Morrison left this earth on Sunday, Dec. 21, 2008, in Stillwater.

Graveside services are scheduled for 11 a.m. Friday in the Morrison Cemetery with the Rev. Roy Fleshman officiating. Services are under the direction of Palmer Marler Funeral Home, Stillwater.

She was born July 11, 1942, in Shawnee, to Dan and Ann (Ellis) Beleu. She later attended East Central University where she met the love of her life, Michael Lee Parker. The two were married on Jan. 10, 1963.

From this union two daughters, Beth and Anne, were born. She worked for Citizens State Bank for 30 years and was a member of the Morrison American Legion Auxiliary Christie-Jones unit 343 where she served as treasurer for many years.

She loved her Lord and knew she was going to her forever home. All of her friends and family will have a very special angel watching over them.

She was preceded in death by her parents; and her husband, Michael, whom in 1994 became disabled.

She spent the last 12 years of his life tirelessly and lovingly taking care of him while also working full time. He passed on Nov. 7, 2006.

She is survived by her two daughters and their husbands, Beth and Steve Shaffer and Anne and Chris North; grandchildren, Melissa Sanspree and husband, Matt, of Ocala, Fla. and Taylor and Brooklynn of Norman; one brother, Steve Beleu of Norman; one very special great grandchild, Mason Michael Sumpter of Morrison, who in these last 15 months brought so much love and joy during her very hard health battles.

She had a lot of very special friends who loved her very much. She fought long and hard and never gave up hope. No matter how she was feeling, she would always put a smile on her face and love in our hearts. She will be deeply missed.
