Leslie Parks-Finley Obituary

PARKS-FINLEY
LESLIE HUNT PARKS-FINLEY D. O.
Exuberant, spontaneous, adventurous, caring, a collector of friends-all words to describe Leslie Hunt Parks-Finley. Born September 8, 1970 in St. Louis, Missouri to Hubbard and Karen Parks, "Dr. Leslie" died unexpectedly on Nov. 25, 2008 while on a family vacation in Telluride, Colorado. A 1988 graduate of MacArthur High School in San Antonio, Leslie received her BS from Southwestern University in 1993 and her medical degree in 1997 from Oklahoma State College of Osteopathic Medicine. She completed her internship and residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and returned "home" to Texas to open her practice in The Woodlands. Not a dreamer but a doer, Leslie lived life with fierceness and passion. She loved to travel and regaled us all with her escapades around the world-whether it was scuba diving in Mexico , swimming with sharks and feeding baby elephants in Thailand or jumping out of airplanes "just because" Leslie lived life to the fullest. Her glass was never half full, it was overflowing. She loved pedicures, the Houston Stock Show and Rodeo, stray animals, plain folks, her patients and her colleagues. But most of all she loved her family. Leslie leaves behind her beautiful, two-year-old twins, Virginia Hubbard Finley and Lucas Young Finley, and her husband Robert Scott Finley. She is survived by her parents, Hubbard and Karen Parks, her sister and brother-in-law, Allison and Michael Burkey, and their daughters Ella and Faith Burkey. Memorial services will be held on Sunday, November 30, at 2 p.m. at Alamo Heights United Methodist Church, 825 E. Basse Road, San Antonio and at The Woodlands United Methodist Church, 2200 Lake Woodlands Drive, The Woodlands, TX on Wednesday, December 3 at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a memorial fund in honor of her children being set up at www.leslieparks.com.

I remember working with Dr. Parks when I did an assist when she delivered a 14lb baby from a 15 year old in the ER at Houston Northwest. Dr. Leslie was such a kind woman, I remember her donating her LONG hair to cancer patients. I loved her bedside manner so much in fact, I changed my long-time OB to Dr. Parks services and referred a few of my daughter, colleagues, family and friends

Dr. Parks delivered my baby on 5/27/05 and she was such a spectacular doctor and an amazing human being, she made you feel like you had been friends with her all your life! She and my husband got along so well talking about the Houston Live Stock Show and Rodeo at every visit, which were often since I was 35 and have a chronic illness, they chatted so much I would have to remind them that I was a patient and it's supposed to be all about the BABY and ME, not them chatting it all up about the rodeo, lol! They would both look at me like I had three heads then like I was a kill joy, ruining their good time! Oh, how I miss those visits and how wonderful she was during the delivery. I had crashed and she almost had to defibrulate me but injected some medicine to pull me out of shock. She was always very compassionate and truly cared about us as mothers and our babies! God bless her, her husband and two beautiful children she ached to have for so long! How I wish for her and her sweet family to be here together enjoying watching those babies grow up. Prayers and my warmest thoughts of condolence to all who miss and love her this holiday season and every day!

Still in our memory and hearts, including your family and especially your husband and two beautiful children. My husband and I still talk about you and how funny it was that you and my husband had so much in common, especially the Houston Live Stock show and Rodeo. You two would get to talking away and I would, in jest, say, "Hello, I'm the patient with the baby in her stomach, this is supposed to be all about me and the baby!", your humor fit right in with mine and we just adore you and you're wonderful, friendly personality. Miss you so much, and thank you so much for helping me deliver my healthy daughter 16 years ago via a complicated C-section, we are forever grateful to you! God bless and keep watching over those babies of yours!

I had the honor of having Dr. Parks as my "back up" doctor in August of 2003 when I switched from midwife to OB upon the discovery of twins at 32 weeks. I was blessed by her, as she sat with me and my husband and tried so hard for two days to let me naturally deliver my twins. She told me that she and her mother were praying for it to be successful. She was my cheerleader through the whole labor! It was to be one of her first natural deliveries of twins. Sadly, my twins never engaged and we ended up with a C-section. I was devastated, as I wanted a large family and feared this was the end of that dream. However, I wanted to find Dr. Parks after my last delivery, just 2 weeks ago, and congratulate her on a wonderful job almost 18 years ago with that surgery. I went on to have 9 successful VBAC's!!!!! My dream did not end, however I was so saddened to find this obituary when searching for her. I am so sorry to her family for the loss of a wonderful woman and doctor. Although I did not get to know her personally, she was one of the best doctors I have encountered to this day! All doctors should aspire to be as kind, giving, loving, and skillful as Dr. Parks! May God bless her family!

Im so thankful she was able to have the two of you and Im so sorry you lost her so soon! She was the beat doctor ever! Down to earth and always with a smile on her face! She might have been my doctor but I was proud to call her friend!

Hi Dr. Parks
I remember when I first saw you, it was at the 1960 office and you were practicing with Dr John Willams. You and Ivory were so sweet to me when I had a miscarriage on July 27, 2003. You were leaving that afternoon to attend a wedding in Oklahoma, but assured me that I would be in good hands with Dr Williams as I delivered my baby. You felt so bad leaving me, but promised you would check up on me through the night. I remember Dr Williams telling me that you had called several times for an update. I will never forget you and the compassion you showed me and my husband. Thank you for guiding me to through my next pregnancy with love and encouragement. You were such a blessing to so many!!! I miss you and think of you often. I know you are loving on our baby in heaven and watching over Justin who is now 12. Until we meet again.

Dear Aunt Essie,
Everyday it gets harder and harder not seeing your beautiful face, hearing your loving laugh and getting those warm hugs. It felt like just yesterday we were dressing up in those silly scrub hats, going to the rodeo, playing baby dolls and dressing up in silly costumes.
Tomorrow I get to see your babies. I'm so thankful I get to be with them. They are the worlds loving, beautiful children. You would be so proud of them.
Aunt Essie, I miss you so much. The Lord took you away too soon. It's all for the better. He needed you to become an angel and watch over all of us. We love and miss you aunt Essie. You will always be with me. I can't wait until we meet again someday:) I love you sooooo very much. Xoxo.

After months and months of tears, heartache and stress and being told I had less than an 8 % chance to have another child, it is by the grace of God that I am pregnant again. I can't help thinking how much I wish Dr. Parks was here to share the joy and struggle with me. I am still being seen by my fertility specialist and have yet to find an OBGYN that even comes close to making me feel as cared for as Dr. Parks. I think of her often and continue to pray for her family. She is an angel in heaven for us all.

Dr. Parks was the best doctor I ever had as well. I recommended her to so many friends and family. She delivered both of our girls in 04 & 06 as well as nieces and nephews. I still brag about how wonderful she was. She had an amazing personality and always full of honesty and laughter. I am back in The Woodlands area again and just found out I am pregnant! I am fighting back the tears as I wish she was with us today to help bring another member of our family into this world safely.

Dr. Parks I still brag about how great my doctor is and how much I love her. I think about you alot and I miss your smile and laughter. I dont think its possible to find another doctor like you. Its crazy but I dont wanna have anymore kids bcuz I dont want anybody else to deliver them. You were a great doctor and a wonderful person. I wish my kids would've gotten to meet and know the person who helped bring them into this world safely.

Dr. Parks you delivered Richard in 2004 right on New Years Day. You were there all night and I was not dilating. 8 hours later you came in with the biggest smile, happy as can be saying "it's time!" You came in at Midnight and wished us a very Happy New Years, your laugh filled the room and filled our hearts. Then in 2004 you delivered my precious baby girl. You ran in laughing and yelling " don't push, not even one breathe or she'll come out!" you were not just our doctor but family to us. They are grown now and my husband and I miss you dearly. I see your laughter every time I wish my son a happy birthday and happy new years. We miss you ..

I was just sitting here working on my computer when I received an email notification that another entry had been made in the Guest Book. My first entry was 12/2008. Of course I stop to immediately read how Dr. Parks has influenced yet another woman and her family. I can't get thru the message without a tear. I still think of Leslie often. I still smile when I think of her. To see that even after these few years, she is still in the hearts and memories of all that knew her warms my heart. We will never forget you. I hope and pray that her family and her children find some sort of comfort knowing that she was adored and loved by many. What an impact she made on all of those who knew her. I miss you Dr. Parks!

wow...believe it or not I just found out about Dr.Parks passing. It is so shocking and unforeseen. I could not have imagined that less than 6 months after she delivered my twins she would be gone. I remember she had just had her twins right before I met her. During my pregnancy I would grumble and complain, but she always said, "It's only gonna get worse." That would make me laugh. I feel so bad for her children and husband. I only hope these few years that have passed since her death have only brought wonderful memories to her husband. I hope that he has had the strength to carry on. I hope her twins are filled with memories by those that knew and loved her so they will always know who their mother was.

I remember you told me that if i wanted to stop gaining so much weight during my prenancy that i "needed to quit eating everything that went through my car window" lol i love you and miss you very much as well as your family does no doubt. thank you for the memories and the insperation. u are greatly missed

Dr. Leslie Parks delivered my daughter on August 30, 2008.We also worked together she done rounds at the hospital I worked at being young i thought man this is going to be weird going back to work and having to see her there knowing she delivered my daughter. But Dr. Parks never made me feel uncomfortable she would pass me in the hall and ask how was the baby and I doing, never awkward. I was off the day her passing was announced at work my co- worker called me and i cried like a baby. I went to her service in the woodlands. I just know that she is a true angel and her kids are blessed to be able to call her mom. Dr. Parks you are missed!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!

December 4, 2010

Miss you, my friend. In the craziness of preparing for the holidays, want nothing more than to see your smiling face and hear one of your crazy stories (and share one of mine). I miss you, Les! I know you will be watching out for me and my family as we travel to Michigan for Christmas. For that, I am sadly grateful! I love you bunches! Know that your kids are thriving and enjoying the time they get with your family! Merry christmas, my friend.

All my love,

My dear friend,

I miss 'my' Leslie so much. That big laugh, total honesty, and amazing charisma are with me everyday. Your larger than life spirit is like no one I've ever known.

I am so grateful for the years we had together. You touch people in a way few ever do. You are such a dynamic personality and that will never change.

Like everyone, I'm doing the best I can to deal with the grief of not having you near or on the other end of the phone to laugh and share with. I accept life as it is, but we don't have to like it. I'm greedy and I wanted more time. I never really thought we wouldn't have it. We had plans. We had plans for our families. I am angry we won't have it the way we planned.

I love you and your family! I pray for them often. I know we all miss you and for me you are still so close. I can hear your voice and see you so easily. When you are on my mind I smile and remember lots of things and unique times with you!

Your friendship was special to me. I just can't believe we don't have more time. I feel robbed. We had so many more crazy adventures ahead. You're in my heart and with me everyday!

Your beautiful children have the greatest mother who loved them long before they were ever born. They are miracles and a living legacy of you and your loving spirit!

XO, Shannon

It was heartbreaking to learn of Dr Parks death today. Dr Parks delivered both of my daughters. The first was born 8/19/2006 and the second born 8/3/2006. She was always very compassionate and energetic. I remember her racing to the delivery room (while pregnant herself) telling me not to push yet!

I will keep her husband and beautiful children in my prayers. Rest in Peace Dr.Parks!

I am so very sad to have just learned of her passing, she was with me while trying to have my daughter and was the one to bring her into the world. I just got online tonight to get her info so I could come see her. (in hopes to have another child) I was not expecting to find this and am very heart broken. She will be so missed. What a wonderful soul she was. Michelle and Kevin Hall (baby Addison , 2005)

I just recently heard of Dr. Parks passing. I am deeply sadden. Dr.Parks and I worked together at Northwest Medical Center. She also delivered my son in 2006. I will greatly miss her. I can recall seeing Dr. Parks after having a miscarriage a year before, and she taking extra care and time to ensure that my pregnancy would go to term. She even picked the date my son would be born. I remember the first time we heard the baby's heart beat, I cried and she cried right along with me as she knew how hard it was for me to conceive; and how my husband and I desperately wanted to have a child. She was not only my OBGYN, she was my friend, and will be greatly missed.

Dear Dr. Leslie,

I am devastated to recently learn the news of your passing when I called to make an appointment to see you upon my return to Texas. I moved to Illinois after the birth of my baby, Amare December 12th, 2005. You were the sweetest. Greatest since of humor! I remember you telling me at each of my visits about how much fun you were having trying to get pregnant.(smile). I am truly overjoyed as I see the pictures of your lovely twins today. A blessing indeed. All things in God's timing. I pray for your family and for your legacy to live on forever and ever. Amen.

Dear Dr. Leslie,
My daughter just turned 5 years old on Christimas Day. You sacrificed your time on December 25th 2004 to deliver my baby. I just learnt today of your death when I had gone to see my gyno.. I am now pregnant and wanted to have you deliver my baby. I am heart broken to know that you could leave this world so young. You were such a nice, loving doctor. I am thankful to God that atleast you left a son and daughter behind. May they carry your laughter and positive attitude. May God give your husband and children strength as they face each day.

I love you Dr. Leslie.. and May God rest your soul in peace.

My prayers are with you as you go through life without Leslie beside you. Love the precious children you & Leslie gave life to. Let your parents and Karen & Hubbard guide you. Afterall, "they've been there, done that" & THEY DID A GOOD JOB! Besides, remember, you wouldn't have your precious babies if your mother's hadn't schemed to get you two together!

You've all got to be strong for each other, love each other & help each other to make it without Leslie. She loved you all so much & she'd want you to be there for each other.

You've received many offers of help with babysitting, shoulders to cry on & support from Leslie's friends, nurses & patients. It's our way of showing our love for Dr. Leslie. I'm positive you've received lots of offers from your church. Take some of us up on it!

Most importantly, keep your precious children close to God. For some reason He needed Leslie with Him. As hard as it sometimes is for us to accept, God doesn't make mistakes! Please keep Ginny & Lucas close to their grandparents, aunts & uncles like you know Leslie would want you to. She loved all of you so much! She'd want you all to stay close. Use the love you all have for Leslie to strengthen each other.

Ginny & Lucas, your Mama loved you! Never forget that. She had the biggest heart of anyone I've ever known & her love for you filled every inch of it!

Leslie, we love you!

I think of Leslie often especially when i go to the Lamb and Goat meetings. I know it is tough times for the family, my thoughts and prayers are with the family and her babies. God Bless you. My best word for Leslie:
"ONE OF GOD'S ANGEL'S"

It is hard to believe an entire year has passed. I know your family takes comfort watching your twins grow each and everyday. And if they are anything like their mom, they have a love of life and a giving heart. You were vital to bringing the best blessing into my life, and I will be eternally grateful. My word to best describe you is BLESSING.

Thinking of you this holiday season as always. I know you are looking down on each and every one of us. You are very missed and will never be forgotten.

My one word is INSPIRATIONAL as she was in more ways than one.

I love you and miss you dearly Leslie!

I can't believe an entire year has passed. I still can hear her infectious, boisterous laugh in my head. So difficult to summarize Leslie into just a single word, but I think it would have to be spirited.
What a lovely caring person to have had the honor to share time with. God Bless her family & those who loved her.

Gloria(Grandma) and Aarich. Dr. Parks delivered this precious child on 7/2/2006.

I still miss Dr. Parks today. She can never be replaced as a doctor. She will always remain in my heart and in my memories. The word that best describes her for me is FUN.

I cannot believe it's been a year already. We all miss the very long letters at the end of the year from Leslie. God Bless her children.
In response to your request Mrs Parks, the one word I can think of in regards to Leslie is Vibrant.
She is definitely missed.
God Bless.

I am so glad to have known this wonderful, incredible, charismatic beautiful person inside and out throughout my pregnancy. I don't think i could have had such a successful pregnancy and delivery without her. Everyday i look at my son and how much he's grown, i think about Dr. Parks. I wish he could meet the person that brought him into this world. I know she is looking down on all of her special deliveries, just as she's looking over her twins. WE MISS YOU DR. PARKS.....

Although I didn't know Leslie, I have heard soooooooooo many wonderful things about her and how much loved she was and still is. I heard this from my sister Priscilla Hottel and niece Pam. So very sorry for your loss and will keep you all in my prayers for strength.

Dr. Leslie, It's so hard to believe you've been gone for a year. I miss you so much. Like I promised, I said a special prayer for Scott, Ginny & Luke on your birthday & again on the anniversary of your passing. I will every year.

I think of you often, but you are especially on my mind today. My precious grandson Tyler is 6 today. You were on Thanksgiving leave 6 years ago when he decided to make his entrance...almost 2 weeks early! Just like you'd promised....no matter WHEN it was....you came in to deliver him. I thank God for YOU every year on his birthday. You made what turned out to be a somewhat tough delivery so easy on my daughter. It was sooooo much better with your calm, confident, smiling presence! Thank You!

Scott, I hope & pray for you. I hope you are surviving raising twins without your beautiful, special, precious Leslie by your side. When the going gets tough....and, believe me, it will!....the best advice I can offer is to try to think of what goofy thing Leslie would say at that moment! I pray that God guides your every step.

Ginny & Luke, your Mama loved you with every ounce of her great big heart, with every fiber of her being & with her whole soul. She was so excited when she found out she was at long last pregnant with you two. I was very priveleged to be one of her first patients the morning she found out for sure she was pregnant. She was literally glowing! She loved you & your Daddy so much! You have your own Special Angel to watch over you as you grow up.

Karen & Hubbard, Thank You so much for raising such a wonderful, loving daughter who grew up to be a loving, wonderful & very, very special woman. Thank You to her whole family for sharing her with us.

Leslie was a fantastic doctor. As her patients, we were extremely lucky to have her as our OB Gyn. Not everybody can say their doctor is also their friend. Leslie WAS a friend to each & evey one of her patients!

God Bless each & every person she left behind. Her blood family, her work family & her patient family. We were all lucky to have known her & to have been touched by her prescence!

I miss you, Leslie. It still breaks my heart that I'll never see your smile or hear your big laugh again. I know it's been said many times, but it's still so true....Heaven is a better place with you there!

Love,

Debbie Townsend

It's been a year ago today. It's not much easier today as it was a year ago. I think of you daily. I still get sad and cry. I hope each anniversary of your passing gets easier I hope someone in your family is keeping your spirit alive for your beautiful babies. Ginny and Lucas I know your Mommy is so proud of you both and is always smiling down at you from heaven.

Leslie -
It has been almost one year since my world was shattered with the horrific news and not a day goes by that I don't think about you. Sometimes it is to smile about something outrages you said, leaving me in stitches! Sometimes, it is to ponder why someone with such a zest for life and amazing gift of friendship had to leave so soon. Most times, it is to thanks God for allowing me to know you for 5 amazing years. I keep waiting for it to get easier. It doesn't. I miss you. To Scott, Lucas and Ginny, I think of you often and pray that your world has become as close to normal as it can be without Leslie. I hope your Thanksgiving brings you peace, love and some laughs. God Bless you all!

Dr.Parks
Its almost been a year since you left us.I miss your smiling face in the mornings when you came into the office, I miss the wonderful stories of the twins that you would tell us, most of all I miss you. I remember my first day at work when I went around to meet all the Doctors you said hello to me and then informed me that you were "Knocked Up" and with twins you were so excited. I will never forget that day I was like did she just say what I think she said. We will never forget you and we always think about you and talk about all the crazy things you did lol..I know you always watching over us and were so lucky for that

Dr. Parks, wow. I havent been to you in 3 years due to no insurance. I finally have some and just called to find if you were still at the same practice and they told me the horrible news. You were so good with what you did. Im scared Ill never find anyone as patient as you...you will be dearly missed. You had a great personality. I just hope your kids grow up and know that you tried so hard to have them...I still remember the day you went and got the invetro and the next time I saw you you were 6 months. Time flys, but I know youre up there watching over them in the best way possible.

Dr. Parks, it's about to be one year since you passed and it's still not real to me. I miss you so much and I think about you all the time. You were so much more than my doctor. You made every visit so comfortable and you made me feel so much better after I had my son Kaden, and 3 short months later I came back to tell you I was pregnant again! You made all my worries go away! I love and miss you so much! I am blessed to know that I have you as an angel watching over me and my family.

You were such a nice and friendly person, can't beleive our kids are almost 3. You are greatlly missed and loved..
