Margaret Parker

She was preceded in death by her dear husband Ted Parker of Wayne, MI, her dear parents Ben Franklin Sr and Flora (Gibson) Franklin of Wayland KY, her dear sisters Genevieve (Iveria) Caudill of Ecorse, MI and Etheleen (Hayden) Woody of Ypsilanti, MI, her dear brothers Ben (Patricia) Franklin Jr. of Dearborn, MI, and Delano Franklin of Wayland, KY and her dear nephews Iveria Caudill, Jr and Billy Ray Caudill of Ecorse, MI.

She is survived by her dear foster son and nephew by marriage James Thomas (Beth) Parker of Kirkland, WA, dear nieces Shirley Ann (Ken) Godbey of Ecorse, MI, Kathy Jean (Emil) Sacco of Mt. Pleasant, MI, Lorraine Woody of Ann Arbor, MI, Myra Jane Sawicki of Plymouth, MI, Laura Lee (Walter) Balfour of Chandler, AZ, and Elizabeth Anne Franklin of Tucson, AZ. She also leaves behind her dear nephews Danny Caudill of Ecorse, MI and Gregory Paul (Anja) Franklin of Dearborn, MI and many great nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Margaret was especially close to her husband's niece Anna Lee (Harrison) Banks who lived with and took care of Margaret in the last few years of her life. The family appreciates the sacrifice, love and comfort she gave her.

Margaret was a devoted member of the Cornerstone Baptist Church in Canton, MI for many years and even though she had been housebound for quite a while she watched the services which were live streamed. The pastor and others would visit her faithfully and frequently, which also gave her much comfort and peace.

Margaret loved her neighbors and was especially close to Bridget, who would also be there for Margaret in any way possible. Anyone who met Margaret would agree that she was quite a character. Always ready to laugh and joke. She was also a fiesty woman who never hesitated to speak her mind. She definitely knew who she was, what she believed in and she firmly stood her ground.

Margaret will be sorely missed and forever remembered by many.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, October 27, 2022 from 10am until time of service at 12:30pm at Harry J. Will Funeral Home in Wayne. Margaret will be laid to rest at Glenwood Cemetery.
