Doris McVicker Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 14, 2024.
Tucson - Doris McVicker, born on January 7, 1953, in Ray, Arizona, passed away peacefully on December 9, 2024, in Tucson, Arizona. She was the beloved daughter of Olive and Daryl McVicker and grew up in a close-knit family with eight brothers and sisters.

Doris was preceded in death by her husband, Jerry Parlier; her parents, Olive and Daryl McVicker; and her brothers, Charles McVicker and Nick McVicker. She is lovingly remembered by Dana Felix, Eva Boicourt, Ben Boicourt, Patricia Kent, Mark McVicker, Kay McVicker, John McVicker, Allen McVicker, and Mary Dunn.

Doris found joy in life's simple pleasures. She enjoyed traveling with friends and family. She cherished painting and baking with her granddaughter Eva and delighted in playing bingo with friends. She also enjoyed attending plays and shows with her family, creating treasured memories that will be fondly remembered by all who shared those moments with her.

Her life was defined by the love she gave to those around her. May her memory bring comfort to all who knew her.

Services to honor Doris's life will be held on Saturday, January 4th at Christ the King Episcopal Church 3:00 PM at 2800 W. Ina Road, Tucson, AZ 85741. A reception will follow the service.

Doris had the kindest heart! When I needed a place to stay for a few months, she took me and my hairy dog in without hesitation. I have the fondest memories from that time and hope that her family and friends find comfort in those wonderful memories! My deepest condolences go to Dana and her family! Love you guys!
