It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Margie D. Parker, 71, of Mt. Vernon, Oregon, on Jan 3rd, 2024, in Prairie City, Oregon. 

A public memorial service will be held at the Mt. Vernon Community Center on Tuesday, January 9th, 2024, at 11 am

Margie was born May 3rd, 1952, to George & Nadine Carr in McCallister, Oklahoma. She attended Grant Union High School and the University of Oklahoma Tech, graduating in 1972. She married her Husband, Denver Parker, in May 1972 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. They have two children, Kat Phillpotts and Nadine Parker. Margie worked at Valley View Assisted Living in John Day, Oregon, until her retirement. After she retired, she became quite fond of reading, playing cards & games, and loved films of all kinds. She loved her animals, particularly her chihuahua Baby. Because of this love, the family asks that any Memorial Contributions be made to the Hope4Paws rescue. 

She was preceded in death by her parents, George & Nadine Carr. She is survived by her husband, Denver Parker; her sisters, Vicki Cartwright & Patti Powell (Scott) and their children; her brother, Butch Carr (Ginny) and their children; and her children, Kat Phillpotts (Wade) & Nadine Parker. She is also survived by her five grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Margie’s family would like to share a parting verse:

Escape at Bedtime

The lights from the parlor and kitchen shone out 

Through the blinds and widows and bars;

And high overhead and moving about,

There were thousands of millions of stars.

There ne’er were such thousands of leaves on a tree,

Nor of people in church or the Park,

As the crowds of the stars that looked down upon me,

And that glittered and wicked in the dark.

The Dog, and the Plough, and The Hunter, and all

And the Star of the Sailor, and Mars,

These shone in the sky, and the pail by the wall

Would be half full of water and stars.

They saw me at last, and they chased me with cries,

And they soon had me packed into bed;

But the glory kept shining and bright in my eyes,

And the stars going round in my head.
