Born in Iowa City, Iowa to Chauncey DePew Parker and Sina Enid Nelson, Jerry lived most of his life in Lynnwood, Washington. He graduated from Edmonds High School in 1949, married Lois O’Neill and served in the Army (SCARWAF) from 1951 to 1954. Known as “Mr. Mustang” by his peers, Jerry was a FORD parts man and manager for 43 years. He was an avid collector and enjoyed going to garage sales and selling at swap meets. Dad loved playing poker Wednesday nights with his Elks Lodge #2171 brothers. He liked fishing, hunting, and traveling with Lois across the country in their truck and trailer. Dad had a lifelong passion for Native American culture and art. He had a special love and connection to dogs. Jerry was a huge sports fan and followed the Seattle teams religiously; he was also a proud volunteer with the Lynnwood Police VIPS program. Jerry and Lois had seven children - Lynn, Scott, Kris, Cary, Toby, Lori and Cody.
