Mary "Helen" Nash Parker

Helen worked at Delmar Printing Company for 35 years. In 1950, she married the love of her life, Carr Lynn ‘Shine’ Parker. She is survived by her daughter Rhonda Parker Maners (Harvey) and son Dennis Parker (Brenda); grandchildren Andria Jones, Luke Linker (Dorothy), Dustin Parker and Traci Cooke (Randy); great grandchildren Heather Eva, Abigail Linker, Ethan Linker, Tanner Cowick and Reagan Cowick and brother-in-law Jimmy Parker and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband Carr Lynn ‘Shine’ Parker, parents, brothers Furman, Brooks, David and Heath; sisters Hallie, Louise, Annie Von, Verla and Eldess.

Helen loved God and gave her testimony about God to everyone she met. She loved all of her family and friends greatly. She never met a stranger and was loved by everyone. Her door was open to anyone, anytime.

She was known by ‘Mrs. Mary’, ‘Mrs. Helen’ and ‘Mom’ to any one that needed or wanted a mom. She had no enemies. She loved animals, especially her ‘part time’ kitty, Hugo and he loved her also. She blessed everyone she met. Anyone who was lucky enough to meet Helen received such a blessing.

Helen was a very loving, independent lady who spread joy all around her. She will be greatly missed by everyone, but she is in Heaven now with God and ‘Shine’ and everyone that is there and will be waiting for those that are yet to come. We will all see Helen again when we get to heaven.

Funeral service is scheduled for 11am on Wednesday, July 19, 2023 at Oakhurst Baptist Church located at 5037 Monroe Road in Charlotte. The family will greet friends starting at 10am. Burial immediately following at Sharon Memorial Park at 5716 Monroe Road in Charlotte.
