He was born July 20, 1919, in Yadkin County to the late Joseph Wallace Parker and Phebe Cazelia Parker. He was a World War II veteran, a U.S. Navy Seabee at Camp Perry at Norfolk, Va. Fred was a builder who in 30 years built many hundreds of homes from Emerald Isle on the N.C. coast to Fancy Gap, Va., and many commercial buildings in the continuation of a four-generation family trade. His favorite project was the construction of the Mackie-Gentry Funeral Home in Yadkinville. After his first heart attack in 1976, he withdrew from his construction business and was a building inspector for the USDA until his full retirement at age 70. He was also a successful part-time farmer, raised chickens on a large-scale basis on land passed down from his great-great-great-grandfather, George Adams' 1790 land purchase on the headwaters of Forbush Creek in Yadkin County. Forbush Creek was named after his great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather, George Forbis (Forbush), one of the two first settlers south of the Yadkin River in present day Yadkin County in 1748. He was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, Clarence Parker and Thad Parker; two sisters, Eva Parker and Zena Parker McCormick; and a son, Donald Lee Parker. He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Elva Jester Parker; two daughters, Sandra (Roger) Adams of Yadkinville and Jo Ann (C.D.) Miller, and a son, Ray Parker (Linda), of Boonville; and three granddaughters, Gina Parker (Stacy) McGee, Dee Miller (Brian) Shore and Anna Miller, all of Boonville. The funeral service will be conducted at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Gentry Family Funeral Home, N.C. Highway 601 N., Yadkinville by the Rev. David Minor. He will lie in state from 1:30 to 2 p.m. today before the service. Burial will follow at his home church, Mount Pleasant United Methodist Church on Nebo Road in Boonville, with full military honors by Yadkin VFW post 10346. His burial plot there is on land donated to the church on its establishment in 1844 by his great-great-uncle, James Adams, from his great-great-great-grandfather William Adams' 1790 estate holdings.
