Mr. Parler, a long-time resident of Wadena, known simply as Pastor to many, was born October 16, 1925, near Cameron, South Carolina, to Paul Jefferson and Mary (Kemmerlin) Parler. Upon graduation from high school in St. Matthews, South Carolina, he enlisted in the US Navy where he served aboard the USS Wasp during WWII. Shortly after his return from the Pacific, Mr. Parler met Sybil Maree Edmonds, whom he married on June 9, 1947. In spite of his aunt’s dire prediction that, “it will never last,” they remained a picture of abiding love until her death in September, 2013. In 1952, Mr. Parler accepted Christ as Savior, and in 1955 he followed God’s call into the ministry, making preparation for his life’s work at Omaha Baptist Bible College in Omaha, Nebraska. During his years of study, he held a student pastorate near Afton, Iowa, and later pastored churches in Loup City and Bellevue, Nebraska; Spearfish, South Dakota; and Volga, Iowa. In his 25 years of ministry in Volga, he, along with his wife, served as administrators and teachers at Wadena Christian Academy, as well as providing materials and support for many families who chose to homeschool their children. In addition to his wife, Mr. Parler was preceded in death by his parents, one sister, four brothers, and his eldest daughter, Sybil Maree (Penny) West.
