Tom "Bill" Parker

Tom "Bill" Parker, 83, Sherwood, left this life to be with his Lord and Savior on March 30, 2015. He was surrounded by the love of his life and his best friend for fifty-eight years, Sylvia, along with his three daughters, who have always known that they were the luckiest girls in the world to have such a wonderful Dad. He leaves behind his wife, Sylvia Parnell Parker; daughters, Debi Parker, Cindy Pickett (Don), Susan Poppy (Freddie); six grandchildren, Nicole (Andy), Duncan, Michael (Heather), Sydney, Alexa (Cara), Bryce and four great-grandchildren, a brother, Nick Parker (Beverly) of San Diego, California and a very special brother-in-law, Clinton Anderson of England, Arkansas. He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother, Joe Parker, and his sisters, Sue Corley and Patsy Anderson. Bill grew up in Toltec, Arkansas before leaving to join the Navy. Upon his return, he met the woman of his dreams and started the greatest part of his life. Bill and Sylvia raised three daughters who were their pride and joy. Life got even better when the grandkids and great-grandkids came along. Bill was an avid golfer who loved playing and enjoyed the time spent with many friends on the golf course. Life for Bill was definitely a hole in one every day. Visitation will be at 1 p.m. on Thursday, April 2, 2015 at Roller-Owens Funeral Home, 5509 John F.
