Read More	The eldest daughter of Frank and Liz Parker, Carrie grew up on the Parker farm at Lot 7, Conc, 12, Brooke Township, Ontario. Her first job was operating a weigh station for sugar beets for one of her Parker uncles who bought them to be commercially processed into sugar. She moved to London with her parents and trained as a medical records keeper, a job she held until her retirement. Carrie never married. She lived in a lovely old apartment building in London, Ontario, with a snug sitting room for company, a banquette table in the kitchen, and a huge bedroom with room for matching single beds. She was a soft-spoken but firm woman with a ready smile and a hug for the four little Parkers and the next generation of nieces and nephews. A dedicated employee, Carrie saved up to travel during retirement, and did so quite extensively. Japan, Thailand, Nepal, and Brazil are four countries that come to mind. In later years, Carrie and her sister Winnie shared an apartment in London, welcoming nieces and nephews on holidays and other special occasions. Her legacy to the next generation was a collection of family recipes, handwritten in her fine, neat script, including two classics - raspberry vinegar (a refreshing summer drink base) and peach and pear tomato "chili sauce." In June, as plans were being made to celebrate her 80th birthday on August 18th, Carrie declined rapidly from cancer. She was buried with her sister Win in the Parker family plot at Mt. Carmel cemetery outside Watford, Ontario. The family gathered to remember her with sandwiches and a cake after the graveside service. The napkins, specially ordered for her 80th birthday party, read "Best wishes, Aunt Carrie." She wouldn't have wanted us to waste them.
