John and Virginia Parker: Karen Thune

September 1, 2012

A GLORIOUS DAY - Virginia Whitson Parker has joined John, Pat Thune, Edith Anderson and so many others in her heavenly home.

She left this earth early Saturday morning Sept 1, 2012 after a restful night. The timing was most likely chosen once John finished painting and installing shelves in their new mansion. :-)

Virginia lived a faithful life as wife, mother and encourager. Many lives and marriages are changed today as a result of her life. We are grateful for all she has meant to us and are thankful for her faithful example.

A memorial service is planned for Sunday afternoon at 3:30 Sept 16th at Yorba Linda Friends Church in Yorba Linda CA. For a map http://goo.gl/maps/AJ9Ab Service details are available from the church office at 714-777-2875.

Cards and notes may be sent to Howard Parker, 5126 Lakeview Ave, Yorba Linda CA 92886 and email to family@parkers.net. We will be adding your comments and thoughts to this website as they come in.

I'm so sorry I was unable to attend Virginia's service. I had fully expected to be there, but a family emergency kept me at home.

Virginia was such an unselfish, caring person. She was so generous with our kids, buying them little ornaments at Christmas time as well as conversing with them and making them feel important whenever we were together.

Virginia modeled devotion to her own family by meeting their needs and desiring the best for them. She spoke only kind words for others, and made guests feel welcome. She sincerely cared for the souls of everyone she met, and maintianed a growing relationship with the Lord.

I know I would have learned much more about Virginia from what was shared at the service. It's hard to believe she and John are gone. I rejoiced that they are home and I look forward to seeing them again.

Much love from all the Thunes.
