Our deepest sympathies for your loss. My grandmother Wilma Nedbalek of Oklahoma City, OK was Wilma's cousin. I found Mrs. Parmeter's obituary this evening, so only recently learned of her passing. My grandparents were so very fond of Si and Wilma, and spoke of them often. May she rest in peace.

My Prayers to the Family, I was a student of Mrs. Parmeter, and really just stumbled onto this notice of her passing through Facebook. I have very fond memories of her as my 4th Grade Teacher at West T.V. elementary. I actually have a memory of her during class always talking and sharing stories about her boys, and how proud she was of her family. She was a sweet and wonderful lady as I can remember. I remember her telling a story to our class about a restaurant that she liked and was impressed by on the road side as you were on your way up to Mount Hood. She often liked to share her family stories with the class. I am trying to recall the year, but I think it was 1971,4th Grade. God bless the Parmeter family.

Mrs. Parmenter was my 4th grade teacher at Arleta grade school in 1962. I remember her having to leave our class due to a pregnancy and came back at the end of the year....we were all so happy to see her. She was the best. God bless, Debbie Federspiel Steenslid

Dear Dave and family,
I am hoping this is the Dave Parmeter family from OSU, 1970's vintage! I stumbled across your mother's obituary as I was taking care of my mother, age 92. Normally I would not have the Oregonian newspaper available as I now live in Vancouver, WA, and no longer follow that side of the river's news as carefully as I used to. Anyway, this is Nancy McGrew Warner, OSU, 1975, (surprise!) and I would like to send my thoughts and sympathy for the loss of your mother. I know it is a difficult time when our parents pass. Hope you have had a wonderful and fulfilling life and continue to do so. It was nice to see that you and your brothers survived your parents. Sincerely, Nancy

Mrs. Parmeter was my 4th grade teacher at West TV in 1972. I have never forgotten her. Our class was a lively bunch and full of laughter and Mrs. Parmeter took it all in with grace and a smile. She gave of herself to every student. Condolences on her passing.
