Margaret Parker Obituary

Margaret Ann Parker, 80, passed away peacefully on July 12, 2025, surrounded by the love and care of her devoted nieces and nephews throughout her final days. Born on September 13, 1944, to Lola and Bryant Yancey, Margaret lived a life filled with warmth, kindness, and unwavering love for her family.

Though she had no children of her own, Margaret embraced her many nieces and nephews as if they were her own, becoming a second mother to each of them. She was young at heart, always well spoken, and found joy in simple pleasures such as baking and cooking for loved ones, solving word searches, shopping, and being an active member of Harvest Baptist Church.

Margaret was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Samuel Parker; her parents, Mr. And Mrs. Bryant Yancey (Lola); brother and sisters, Mr. Neal Yancy, Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Wheeler (Janet), and Mr. and Mrs. J.E. Jenkins (Jean).

She is survived by her sisters, Mrs. Joyce Anderson and Mr. and Mrs. Leon Cofer (Glenda); sister-in-law, Mrs. Beverly Yancey, and numerous nieces and nephews who will continue to carry her love and memory in their hearts.

Margaret’s legacy is one of unconditional love, strength, and grace. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
