Ilene Joy Parker, age 90, lived in Georgetown, Texas with her daughter Cora and son-in-law Mark, and passed away on Sunday, September 17, 2017 at Park Place Nursing Home. She was born in Sioux City, Iowa to parents Raymond and Louise (Schiller) Moran. Ilene worked as a Project Secretary for Jacobs Engineering for 25 years.
Family was always first for Ilene and she was the keeper of family history, stories and mementos. A bit of a pack rat when it came to savings items her children made in school or cards they had given her. Ilene collected dragons, loved to read especially mysteries, science fiction and fantasies. Nothing made her happier than having family around her and she thrived with the noise and chaos of a house filled with family and friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband Martin B. Parker, Sr., sister Betty McNeil and brother Raymond (Buddy) Moran.
Ilene is survived by her four children, Martin B. Parker, Jr., Thad (JT) Parker, Cora Wadsworth, and Dennis B. Parker; daughter-in-law, Kathy Parker; son-in-law, Mark Wadsworth; six grandchildren, Jana Parker, Jennifer Cummings, Tammy Whitaker, Sarah Parker, Patti Parker and John B. Parker; one great-grandchild, Jayden Whitaker; and best friend, Roxanne Huhn.
