Obituary for ELAINE RUTH PARKER
On January 24, 1940, Elaine Ruth Parker was born in Prince Frederick, MD to the late Amos Ellis Young, Sr. and Alverta Young. As a life-long resident of Calvert County, she attended public schools and graduated from William Sampson Brooks High School in 1958. Her career journey allowed her to serve children in the Calvert County Public School System as a dedicated school bus driver for many years. She also worked diligently as a billing clerk for 18 years at Calvert Memorial Hospital.
Her greatest joy was being the wife of Waverly Parker for 56 years. They were united as one on January 16, 1960. When you saw one, you saw the other because the couple spent all their time enjoying life and each other. She cherished their time together and when her health declined, she wanted him by her side constantly. On the few occasions when he went to work, she found pleasure and comfort in just hearing his voice on the phone.
Their family consisted of five sons and included Dale Darnell (Deceased), Dewayne Waverly, Erwin Lynn (Deceased), Bryant Lamont and Trabin Forte, Sr. and one daughter, Kim. She also has four beautiful grandchildren, Latonya, Darnell, Trabin, Jr., and Abigail and two great-grandchildren Anaiya and Sarnaiia.
Elaine was a faithful member at Carroll Western United Methodist Church and gave her all to the God's service. She was a dedicated Communion Steward and served as Chairperson of the Health and Welfare Committee. Additionally, she was a doorkeeper in the house of the Lord as a member of the Usher Board.
Elaine loved going shopping and on trips with her husband, Waverly. She was always smiling and had a great sense of humor that brought laughter to all in her presence. She was a great cook and her home was filled with love. She was an outstanding wife and mother and was devoted to the men in her life. She was blessed to have many devoted friends and truly cherished the moments they shared.
Elaine was preceded in death by her sister, Lucille Alverta and her brothers, Alfred Lee (Darlene) and Glenn Roosevelt. She leaves to cherish her memory, siblings, Leonard (Mildred), Amos, Jr. (Bertha), Alene (Arthur-Deceased) James Richard (Elver), Alice (Terry), Bernard, Eugene (Brenda-Deceased) and Beatrice (Frank). Elaine also has four sister-in-laws, Estella Willett, Maryann Bell, Grace Parker, and Gloria Parker. Elaine leaves behind a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, family and friends.
