Virginia Barnes Parker

Ginny, you left us just over two years ago and I am missing you even more. In our many emails you were my enthusiastic poetry buddy. How you despised the Orange Menace! He was a blight on your sweet disposition, so I am happy you are missing out on the horror and turmoil of his comeback, but I would be mappier if you were still here for me to visit.

I just learned of Mrs. Parkers passing. I am shocked to say the least. I will miss her phone calls and our shared appreciation for Dr. Parker. I extend my deepest condolences to her family and hope that a lifetime of memories comfort all of you. Sincerely, Tim Sukhenko University of Rochester Office of Alumni Relations

I am thinking of Ginny with love right now. Blessings be.... With much love, Amy Robinson Steinmetz

To the Parker Family, We will be forever grateful for Virginia´s skillful and loving teaching of our son at her Montessori school. It was a wonderful experience for him during his developmental years. We remained friends and always looked forward to seeing her over the years. A remarkable woman!

To Amy, Matt, and your family, Your mother was a force of nature and an enduring example of love, energy, and dedication. What a gift it was to have known her!

Ginny was a complete sweetheart. She loved and supported my mom, Kay Fey, through her and Fritz' involvement with the Syracuse Symphony. My mother loved them back. I cherish the memories I have of Ginny, how vivacious she was, so fun and caring, taking her and my Mom to lunch and running into all their friends they'd just happen to see along the way. I was fortunate to spend a couple of evenings with Ginny this past summer. She was and is a treasure. Condolences to her daughter Amy and family...

The death of Ginny and Fritz, before, leaves a void in our community unlikely to ever be filled. Generous and humble, both, and wonderful supporters of the Arts. Joel Potash MD

Sending love and comfort to all and thanking her for all her beauty and sharing.
