Mrs. Parker died Mon., Feb. 13, 2012, after a brief illness. She was married to the late Sherman Wallace for 56 years. She was a long-time member of Moss Chapel United Methodist Church where she taught Sunday school for over 60 years.

She loved flowers and the outdoors and mowed her own grass until a few months before her death. She spent precious family time on yearly trips to the beach and mountains.

The family is extremely grateful for the loving care of Comfort Hospice and Susan Brooks, RN.
