Doris Parker

June 30, 1926 — April 30, 2016

Doris Carter Parker passed away at her home on April 30, 2016 at the age of 89.

Doris graduated from Olympia High School in 1943 and Married her high school sweetheart at Saint Luke’s Lutheran Church on October 25, 1944 before Erbie shipped out to fight the war in the Pacific.  They maintained their membership at Saint Luke’s Lutheran Church  for the duration of their 71 year marriage which Erbie says was not long enough.  They remained devoted to the Olympia Community throughout their entire life and served as Officers of “The Olympia Alumni”, and “We are Olympia”.

Doris was pre deceased by her parents Clearance Richard (Teach) Carter, Sr. and Edna (Hair) (owners and operators of Karter’s Kozy Korner on Olympia Avenue) and two Sisters, Patricia Carter Stanton, Jackie Carter Whitley Corry.

She is survived by her Husband Erbie, Brother C. Richard Carter, Jr. two Sisters, Nancy Carter Davis and Phyllis Carter Johnson, two sons Paul (Sandra Blizzard) and David (Sharon Dodson), Grand Children Christian, Steven, Shannon (Watts), Tracy, and Timothy and many Great Grandchildren.

She will be missed by all but she leaves a Christ filled memory for all to follow.
