LaVonne Parker Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Washburn-McReavy Funeral Chapels - Glen Haven Chapel on Jan. 11, 2026.
Parker, Lavonne "Vonnie"

Age 87, of Crystal, MN, passed away peacefully on December 17th, 2025. She is preceded in death by her devoted husband and best friend, Ellis "Bud" Parker, with whom she shared a lifetime of love and companionship. Lavonne is lovingly remembered by her dear friend and card playing partner, Adison Bartholomew, and by the family who held a special place in her heart: Deb, Gregg, Blair, Brittney, Gracelyn, and Blake. She is also survived by her nephew Bob (Sandy), along with many cherished friends from Little Six Casino and her close lifelong friends from General Mills. Lavonne dedicated 35 years of her life to General Mills, where she built lasting friendships and countless memories. She found joy in watching sports on TV and taking day trips with her General Mills friends-simple moments that brought her great happiness. In keeping with Lavonne's wishes, there will be no memorial service. A private interment will be held. Her warmth, loyalty, and gentle spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
