Emma Glen O’Farrell Parker

January 13, 2016

Emma Glen O’Farrell Parker, our sweet mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and devoted friend, went home to be with Jesus on January 12, 2016, at the age of 82. She was a sweet, kind, gentle and beautiful person both inside and out, so full of love for her family, friends and her precious Lord and Savior. We are so thankful to know that she is rejoicing in the arms of God.

Our mother lived a full life with three children, six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She was born and raised in Bratt. She raised her girls in Atmore.

She moved to Montgomery where she worked for Parisian for 25 years, a job she loved so very much. She centered her life around Frazer Church and her large group of close friends. She was a talented artist, who loved painting with her dear-devoted, life-long friend Martha Bell.

Our mother was preceded in death by her parents, Talton and Gadis O’Farrell; her first love and husband, Tommy White; brother, Buford O’Farrell; and sister Eloise O’Farrell.

Survivors include Judy A. (Lynn) Wetmore, Paula K. (O’Neal) Green and Shari E. (Dave) Reinhard; grandchildren, Jennifer K. (Wes) Adams, April J. (Mark) Terry, Meredith A. (Brannan) Reaves, Morgan A. Green, Nathan T. (Maggie) Reinhard and Adam D. Reinhard; great-grandchildren, Catie Martin, Colby Smith, Raegan Terry and Emma Reinhard; and her very special friend and paint-buddy, Martha M. Bell.

A special thanks to all the caregivers at Angels for the Elderly and the staff of Hospice of Montgomery for all the love, compassion and special care they gave her.

There will be a gathering of friends at the home of Paula and O’Neal Green on Thursday, January 14, from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m.

A graveside service will be held on Friday, January 15, 2016, at 10 a.m. at Oakhill Cemetery in Atmore.

Johnson-Quimby Funeral Home is directing.
