VERDIE LOWERY PARKER

will be held at 11:00 AM, Friday, October 3, 2014 in the chapel of

Mrs. Parker was a true Christian, whom was faithful to her Lord. She loved 
her family with her whole heart and was always their biggest cheerleader. 
She was extremely proud of her daughters and her son-in-law, who in every 
respect was "her" son for 36 years. The grandchildren brought her the most 
joy through their gleaming adoration of her presence. "Mimi" loved to spoil 
her "babies", as they were constantly referred as.

God so blessed our Mother with a beautiful trip to the beach last week. My. 
Sister, Sherry was determined for Momma to go to the beach, her favorite 
place on earth, one last time. Mom told me every day how Sherry, Danny and 
the grand's were spoiling her and I of course was referring to her as 
"Queenie" by the end of the week. There was much laughter and a spurt of 
energy given to her by God to enjoy "her" week.

We were in no way prepared for God to so peacefully take her on to His 
"Beautiful Heavenly Shores" so soon.

God gave us an exceptional 'Matriarch' for our family. She was here for a 
"moment", but an eternity will be spent with her again. We are all here for 
a "moment," be sure you are ready, as she, when your "moment" ends.

Preceding her in their "moment"; her husband, Bobby Ray Parker; parents, 
Rev. Lorey A. and Hattie (Stapleton) Lowery; sisters; Laverne Sims and Hazel 
Futch; brothers, Waymond Lowery and Lorey Jr. Lowery.
