Parker, Sereana Ann
She was born on August 29, 1936, in Fayetteville, Tennessee, to the late James and Bessie Mae Bland Mullins. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sisters, Dottie Pillows and Wanda Mullins; and her brothers, Jimmy, Virgil, and Elvis Mullins.
Ann was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She shared 73 wonderful years of marriage with her beloved husband, Richard Parker, whom she met at the church where her father served as preacher—a foundation that remained central throughout her life.
Along with her husband, she is survived by her loving children: Derenda Gold; Wayne (Judy) Parker; Terry (Michael) Bradford; and Doug (Kristie) Parker. She is also survived by her brother, Harry (Carol) Mullins; her sister, Myra (Gary) Sowell; nine grandchildren—Shelly, Tammy, Brian, Angela, Kelly, Justin, Amber, Bradley, and Molly; ten great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren.
Ann’s life was marked by dedication to her family and community. She began her working career at Genesco in Centerville before choosing to become a full-time mother, a role she cherished deeply. Later, as her children grew, she returned to work in her hometown, serving customers at Breece’s 5 & Dime and Otasco. She eventually found a career she truly loved as a teller at the local bank, where she worked faithfully until her retirement.
Ann will be remembered for her strong faith, kind heart, and unwavering love for her family. Her legacy lives on in the generations she nurtured and the many lives she touched.
