Polly Parker, 96, passed away peacefully on the afternoon of September 14, 2025.

Polly graduated high school, attended some college courses, and held various occupations throughout her life. She married her husband, James, near the end of World War II. He preceded her in death, along with her parents, two sisters, and one brother.

The most important things in Polly's life were God, Family, and Country-always in that order. She was deeply devoted to each.

Polly is survived by her 13 grandchildren, more than 30 great-grandchildren, and eight great-great-grandchildren. She leaves behind four generations who carry on her legacy.

A Celebration of a Life Well-Lived will be held on Sunday, September 14, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. at Faith Lutheran Church in Lacey, Washington.

Memorial donations may be made to Faith Lutheran Church in Lacey, WA, or to the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW).
