Carolyn Patricia Parks

With heavy hearts, we share the passing of our beloved mother, Carolyn Patricia Parks, on February 19, 2025. She left this world peacefully, surrounded by the love of her three children—Tina (“Tea”), and Toni (“Toe”), and Michael.

A creative spirit with an unwavering devotion to her family, Carolyn found joy in the simple and beautiful: the quiet work of a garden, the grace of horses, and the gentle companionship of her cats. She carried kindness as a constant, offering compassion and steadfast support to those she loved. Never one to let a birthday or special occasion pass unnoticed, she spent her later years giving everything she had to her family, with a generosity that asked for nothing in return.

Carolyn is survived by her children, Tina Prosser, Toni Bellinger, and Michael Parks Jr.; her grandchildren, Joshua Prosser, Danielle Prosser, and Jake Bellinger; and her great-grandchildren, Audrey Prosser and Cylas Miller.

May she rest in peace, knowing she was loved deeply and will be missed.

~ Tina, Toni, and Michael
