Splitting their time between Palm Beach, Florida and their family home in South Carolina, Drina grew up, the second of three siblings, surrounded by a loving family. Drina and her brothers graduated from Palm Beach High; she went on to earn a Bachelor’s Degree from Converse College.
Drina found the love of her life earlier than most, meeting William Parkey as a teenager. Drina and Bill were married on June 23, 1951. Drina and Bill had four children before moving first to England and then settling in Malta. Upon their return to Palm Beach County in 1970, Drina enjoyed a long and successful career in real estate and property management. She was also an active member of P.E.O. Sisterhood for decades, raising money to support the educational needs of young women. Drina was also an active member of her church. Drina and Bill celebrated 69 anniversaries together before Bill’s passing.
Drina’s family was the most important thing in her life and her example of love and support will live on in the memories of her son, John (Jo Ellen) and daughter, Paige Robinson. Her influence will also be reflected in the lives of her nine grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her husband, Bill, her daughters, Derri and Grace, and her brothers, John and Paul.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the charity of your choice.
