On January 27, 2019 at 07:30 am our mother Janet Parker passed away surrounded by her children. She was born at home on North Avenue in Burlington, VT, and anyone who was ever in the car with her driving down North Avenue you will know exactly which house it is. She grew up in Burlington and graduated from cathedral high school in 1950. I could go on and follow a template telling you who she left behind and where they were from, but what I want to tell you is what a beautiful person she was. And how above all her family was the most important thing in her life. And how she gave so selflessly, even when she had nothing. She would have gladly shared with you. She was strong willed and stubborn. She loved to travel and wanted to see all that the world had to offer. She read endless amounts of books and took pride in every garden she ever planted. We moved too many times to count, but each house was a home because she made it that way. She bought her first house in 1987, her little house in the woods, and until she became sick that was her sanctuary. In the end, we as a family, told her that we would spend the rest of her life traveling as often as we could and make sure that she did everything she wanted to do. Our sister Karen retired and took on the role as moms companion and mom would wake every morning and after her coffee would wander out and ask whats the plan? She was loved by so many including her best friend sully who was by her side at every moment. We thank god every day that We had her as a mother. And even though our hearts are broken we find comfort in knowing that she went to heaven being greeted by family, hopefully with a glass of wine. May the sky always be sunny and warm mom. We love you. In lieu of flowers please make a Donation in her name to all breeds rescue. In honor of moms wishes there will be no funeral but instead a celebration of her life.
