(Helen) Parker; four grandchildren: Mrs. William (Judith) Baylis, Lowell R. Clark, John L. Clark and Edward E. Parker, all of Greensburg; nine great-grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by one daughter Elizabeth Clark, who died June 1, 1965; four sisters, Mrs. Ezra (Murtie) Calendar, Mrs. T.L.

The services will be Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at the Kingston Presbyterian Church, with the Rev. Lloyd Dunavant officiating, and with burial in the church cemetery.
Friends may call after 4 p.m. Friday at the Gilliland-Howe Funeral Home, and from 9:30 a.m. until time of the service on Saturday at the Kingston Church. The family suggests that memorials go to the Kingston Presbyterian Church, or the Children's Room at the Greensburg-Decatur County Public Library.
