Mrs. Carolyn Fay Parker (Bailey), aged 82, passed away on Friday, September 27, 2024, in Tallahassee, FL, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on May 11, 1942, in Ardmore, AL. In 1962, she married Mr. William “Ralph” Parker, and they enjoyed 63 years of marriage, with 33 years in Evergreen, AL, before moving back to Bratt, FL, where they lived for the past 26 years. Mrs. Parker worked her way up to a supervisor position at Steven Roberts Manufacturing, where she worked for many years before retiring.

Mrs. Parker adored spending time with her family, watching her grandchildren, and taking care of her husband.
