Julia Parker Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
She was employed by Intermountain Health Care working in several units before finding a home in the Thoracic ICU at LDS Hospital. She always enjoyed her nursing career and helping those who found themselves in her care. She formed many long-lasting friendships in the ICU and was even able to work with her son for a couple years before retiring. She served a Service Mission in the Family History Center for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. In truth, her service never ended throughout her life. Whether providing a welcoming stay for family travelling through or food for neighbors and friends, Julia loved to bring people together and help them in any way she could.
Julia had a bit of a travel bug and wasn't afraid to go it alone if need be. From China to Central America to Europe, she was up for an adventure. She also enjoyed travelling to visit family and friends across the country.
As a single mother she did it all: coach, fishing and camping guide, boo boo kisser, moral compass, good cop and bad cop, friend and always: Mother. A boy couldn't have had a better parent. Her constant concern and willingness to dive into a given problem to make things right will always be a testament to her love for her son. She will be sorely missed.
Julia is survived by her son Christopher Stephen Parker Sr and his wife Rachel, with their four children: Topher, Burton, Sydney and Charlotte. She is also survived by her siblings Steven Rigby, Vickie Lindsay (Dennis) and their 4 children: Andrea Hardman (Rhyan), Heidi Barber (Greg), Elisa Moulton (Trent) and Dan Lindsay (Dianna). Preceded in death by her parents, her sister Cheryl, her brothers James and Thomas and by her granddaughter Sophia. She also has many nieces and nephews she loves spread all over the country.
Funeral service will be held on Wednesday, July 2, 2025 at 11:00 AM with a viewing held prior starting at 9:00 AM to 10:45 AM located at the Stratford Ward, 2635 South 1500 East Salt Lake City, UT 84106.
Interment will be held at 11am on Thursday, July 3rd, 2025 at Sublett Cemetery, Idaho

Dear Parker Family,
I was heartbroken to hear of Julia´s passing. Please accept our family's deepest condolences.
Julia was a kind, welcoming friend who put genuine effort into getting to know our family and meeting us where we were in life. She planned fun playdates for our daughter Mira and her niece Haley, and made every gathering feel thoughtful and full of joy. I´ll always remember her adventurous spirit - like when she joined us for apple picking in the fall - and how naturally she connected with our wider circle of friends.
One of my favorite memories with Julia was "pie night" at her home. After spending time making a tart to share, I arrived on her porch, only for the tart to slide right off the platter just as I knocked on the door. Julia opened it, laughed warmly, and with her signature smile said, "It´s okay! I just swept the porch! We can still serve it!" And we did. That moment so perfectly captured her graciousness, her humor, and her welcoming heart.
Julia will be deeply missed. She was truly a gem of a friend, and we are so saddened by her loss. We´re sending love and comfort to your whole family, whom Julia spoke of often.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Meg, Sean and Mira

I was shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of a dear friend, Julia Parker. We shared good times together over the years. She was a lover of nature and carried a camera with her wherever she travelled. Condolences to her family and to all who loved her.
