Edna Parker, 77, passed away on Saturday, August 17, 2024 at her home. She was born on September 30, 1946, the daughter of William and Myrtle McGlothin. Edna had a deep love for all things crafty. Whether it was sewing, working on puzzles, or any creative endeavor. Her days were often spent watching westerns, something she could enjoy for hours on end. Edna is survived by her son, Larry Wayne Parker Jr.; four grandchildren, Taylor Ann (Logan) Parker, Damian (Graham) Holdcraft, Candice (Mike) DeLong, Michael (Courtney) Holdcraft; eight great-grandchildren, Nichole, Arianna, Shia, Marcus, John, Thomas, Wyatt, and MaKenna; one sister, Susie; and brother, Bill. Edna was preceded in death by her husband, Larry Parker Sr.; her daughter, Karen Marie Parker; and her brothers, Larry and Bud. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
