Mildred C. "Millie" Parker, 86 years of age and resident of Fullerton Village, passed away peacefully on Saturday evening April 30, 2022 in the Lehigh Valley Hospital, Salisbury Township. She was the wife of Charles W. "Butch" Parker for 61 years at the time of his passing in 2012. Born in Catasauqua, she was a daughter of the late Samuel and Bessie (Kirsch) Deily.
A longtime member of the former Saint Paul's Ev. Lutheran Church in Catasauqua, and now a member of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Kreidersville. Millie was a lifelong assorter and packer at the former Fuller Sportswear until they closed. She enjoyed her memberships in the Ladies Auxillaries of Fullerton's Fire Company #1 and American Legion Post #367. Millie was an artist and enjoyed needlepoint, painting, baking, ceramics, and decorating her home for the holidays.
She and Butch loved to travel and have wonderful memories of a trip to Germany with family and friends. She loved a house full of guests for picnics, parties, game nights, and holidays. She treasured her role as Mammy to her granddaughters and great-grandchildren devoting 45 years to creating memories with them baking, traveling, gaming, shopping, laughing, puzzling, drawing, and celebrating. She was always ready with a joke, a smile, a story, and a loving hug for everyone she met. She was a regular at the Fullerton Village's Bingo Night and her fellow residents loved when she would make cakes and her famous peanut butter fudge for the crowd.
She is survived by daughter Gail L. Kramlich with her husband Richard S. of Allentown; granddaughters Amber K. Scavo with husband Billy, and Dr. Bethany K. Tant-Long with husband Dr. Rich Long; great grandchildren Carter, Julia and Anderson; stepbrother Douglas Deily; along with a host of nieces, nephews and extended family; Millie was predeceased by her sister Laverne Hoch, along with her brothers Philip and James Deily, and step brother Glenn Deily.
