Sarah Parker Obituary

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Sarah Marie Parker, who left this world on January 13, 2025, at the age of 38. Born on April 24, 1986, Sarah was a radiant spirit whose warmth and laughter could light up any room she entered.

A devoted family member, she cherished spending time with her loved ones, creating memories that will forever be etched in the hearts of all who knew her. Sarah had a zest for life that was infectious; family outings were among her most treasured moments, where her joy was palpable, reminding everyone of the beauty of togetherness.

In addition to her love for family, Sarah had a multitude of interests that enriched her life. One of her favorite places was Huber's, where she found solace and happiness. Those who had the pleasure of hearing her sing karaoke witnessed a remarkable talent; her voice had a way of bringing people together in joyous celebration.

Through her journey, one of her proudest accomplishments was undoubtedly her family. They were her heart and soul, the source of her greatest pride. Sarah's legacy will continue to shine brightly, much like her favorite flower, the Sunflower, which symbolizes adoration and loyalty—a perfect reflection of who she was.

Sarah will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by all who were fortunate enough to know her. Her spirit and the memories she created will forever be held close in the hearts of her family and friends.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Linda Gail Hovious and her father, Joseph Lyle Hovious.

Sarah leaves to cherish her memories, her husband, Gary Parker; children, Autumn Cecil, Courtney Hovious, Kevin Auberry, Tyler Parker, Brandon Parker, Noah Parker, Shelby Nicole Parker, Aston Miller and Mary Ann Miller; life partner, Lyshawnda Miller; father-in-law, Billy R. Parker; mother-in-law, Charlotte M Parker; step-mother, Sherry Hovious; brothers, Shane Oliver and Trevor Oliver; best friend, Faith Ann Marie and a host of other family and friends. 

Services will be at a later date.
