Mrs. Ruth L. Parker's Obituary
Ruth L. Shannon Parker was born on May 30, 1932 in Madisonville, Texas. She was the 1st of 13 children to bless the lives of parents Robbie Shannon and Nettie Cranford. After Ruth graduated, she began a 30 year career as a beautician.
On January 1, 1949, in Farmersville, Texas, Ruth married the love of her life, Charles Parker. The two of them would be blessed with two children and a life of happy memories living in Galena Park, Eastland, and Channelview Texas.
As we celebrate the life of this strong, feisty, Independent, at times stubborn, but always loving woman we would like to remember that while her family events such as the births of her children and grandchildren would fall in line as the most important events in her life, we would be amiss if we didn’t mention her enjoyment of Crossword puzzles, sewing and cooking and of course spending quality time with her friends, such as Mildred Selman and Adele Neighbors
After 85 years of blessing her family and friends, Ruth was called to heaven and passed away on February 28, 2018. The Parker Family would like to thank everyone for their continued support during this difficult time, your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated.
