Mary Smith Parker Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
She loved her family very much and enjoyed spending time with them. Her favorite things to do were to read books, watch professional football, Dog The Bounty Hunter, and loved watching Addison's racing whether in person, following on the timing app, or on tv. She was so proud of Alyssa's schooling and encouraged her not to get so stressed for tests as she knew Alyssa will go on to be an amazing dermatologist one day. She watched Devyn grow up to become a wonderful Nurse, wife, and mother and got to enjoy her two great-grandsons for the last time just days before her death.
Before moving to Ohio, she was a huge part in raising her grandsons Issac and Jason. She has watched them grow up to be the men they are today. She was a devoted mother, sister, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, great aunt, and cousin and will be deeply missed by all who knew her. She was known for her kind and selfless heart, silly ways, and her infectious smile and laugh. She will be deeply missed.
Visitation will be from 12 noon to 1:00 pm, Friday, June 27, 2025, with the funeral service beginning at 1:00 pm, at Lighthouse Christian Fellowship Church of God of Prophecy, Inc., 1441 Hickman Road, Jacksonville, FL 32216.
