Spending time with family and friends was one of Anita Cavin Parker's favorite pastimes. Unfortunately, "Mrs. Anita" passed away unexpectedly from complications during heart surgery on December 22, 2021 at the tender age of 74. "Nana" as she was called by those close to her, especially enjoyed talking to and spending time with her grandchildren "Peaches" and "Peanut" as well as having daily calls and visits from her only son "Scooter." She was very proud of her grandchildren and enjoyed writing letters and sending gifts to both of them. Anita spent 30 plus years in the Baton Rouge finance business before retiring in 2008 after the death of her husband, Wallace William "Wally" Parker III (a Vietnam Veteran and Purple Heart Recipient). A tough leader and matter-of-fact business woman, Anita earned the nickname "The Piranha" from her co-workers and peers in the finance industry. She was a hard-working office manager and notary republic. She is preceded in death by her husband Wallace William Parker III; her parents Lev Otis Cavin and Lucille Day Cavin; her sister Loise Cavin McKey and husband Harrison McKey; her brother, Jack Cavin; her sister in-law Jeannie Cavin; her nephew Brad Cavin; and her nephew Thomas "TJ" Powell. She is also preceded in death by many close relatives and in-laws not named who she loved very dearly. She is survived by her only son, his wife of 29 years, her grandchildren, a sister and two brothers.
