Mrs. Leroy Parks passed away quietly and peacefully as a child sinking into sweet innocent slumber on last Friday, January 10, after an illness of several weeks duration, although not considered dangerously ill until the Friday after Christmas when her condition became serious.
Mrs. Parks had several months since, passed her 71st birthday. She was a Miss Wheeler and in her early womanhood became the bride of Mr. Leroy Parks in Meridian. Six children blessed this union, of whom four of the gray haired husband remain to mourn the loss of a gentle, loving wife and mother.
Funeral services were conducted at the M. E. church by her pastor, Rev. Neil W. Turner, and all that was mortal was laid to rest in mother earth, there to await the resurrection morn.
The Record extends deepest sympathy to the mourning relatives.
