Marie Parr Obituary

Marie Parr, the daughter of Dr. Edward and Diane Zwicker, departed from this life Friday, March 7, 2008. She will be sorely missed by her family and friends. She left two daughters, Patricia Hutchinson (25) and Melissa Nichols (15); three sisters, Jeannie Zayas, Kathleen Paulk and Lorie Mims; eight nieces and four nephews. After high school she attended the Fort Lauderdale Institute of Art for two years. In the past she owned a sign business entitled Pan-O-Rama Signs in the DeLand area. Marie had also worked in her father's dental practice with him and Dr. Prakash. Marie's loving heart led her to her most recent career with Inclusion Care faithfully providing care to those with developmental disabilities. She was like a "Mom" to many and enriched their souls. She was upbeat, full of zeal and always gave her love, time and attention to those she served and to her co-workers. And as a last act of her love she donated her organs to give life to others. Marie had always made it known that she wanted a "CELEBRATION OF LIFE" which fits her deep spiritual conviction and intense Love of Jesus Christ. Such a celebration will take place Friday, March 14, at 6 p.m. in the Alpha Omega Room located to the rear of St. Peter's Catholic Church, DeLand, Deacon Ed Rinderle officiating. An additional celebration of her life will be at First Baptist Church, Daytona Beach, where she was a member known as a vibrant, joy-filled Sister in Christ. This Christ-centered celebration will be officiated by Pastor Lowell Lucas at 118 N. Pal-metto Ave., Daytona Beach, FL 32114 at 11 a.m. Saturday. In lieu of flowers, Marie would like everyone to Praise Jesus and make love offerings for her children's future and/or donations made to Easter Seals.

After all these years I did not know Marie had died young, until I just read the obituary of her sister Jeanie I had not seen Marie in years this breaks my heart

Marie was my childhood friend. We attended St Peters School together and I have fond memories of her. After my family moved away, I met up with her years later when we were adults. She had the same positive personality and warm-heartedness. I will never forget her.

Dear Patricia, Melissa and the Zwicker Family,
I wish to extend my deepest and dearest condolences for Marie´s girls and the family she left behind. You are all in my thought´s and prayers. Marie was a delightful person of whom I have only the fondest memories. As Patricia´s teacher at DeLand High (98-02) she was an absolute pleasure to work and collaborate with. She was indeed a very special lady who, in the face of difficulites, always demonstrated an outstanding positive attitude. What a mom!!! In all honesty, her passing shocked and deeply saddens me. Her presence with us definitely made the world a brighter, better place to be. She will be missed.
My Sincerest Sympathies,

Dear Zwicker Family, I was very sad to learn of Marie's passing. I just learned of it April 30th. Marie and I were very close as children attending St. Peters School. And I had a nice chat with her a year ago at the Festival. I will miss her deeply.

Marie was an inspiration to anyone she met. She taught me to have faith through the hardest of times, and was taken from this life much to soon. My prayers and love go out to the entire family, but especially to Melissa and Patricia. Marie devoted her life to the care of her children and the care of others. All our love from Minnesota. Tess, Micayla, and Coral.

To Marie's family, My deepest sympathy on the loss of such a wonderful inspiring person. Marie took such wonderful care of my brother, Ted Beer. She was like an extension of our family. I will never forget her kindness to me when I visited Daytona. Marie is definitely with the Lord & watching over everyone.

Marie touched my family's heart with her caring nature and the love that she showed to my brother, Christopher. We will always be greatful to her for the time and attention that she give to him. She truly was a blessing to me and I knew that I never had to worry about my brother as long as he was with her. I am very sad about her loss to this earth-but I know that she is where she longed to be-with the Lord. We are all better for having Marie in our lives. Thank you for sharing her with us and Christopher will miss her love.
