Mary Dell Cotney Parker Obituary
We are sad to announce that, on December 30, 2025, at the age of 91, Mary Dell Cotney Parker (Waycross, Georgia) passed away. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Mary Dell Cotney Parker to pay them a last tribute.
As we bid Mary Dell farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Mary Dell is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
She was predeceased by: her parents, Delma Earl Cotney and Gladys Mae Jackson Cotney; her husband Willard Terrell "Bill" Parker, Sr.; and her daughter Terri Dell Parker. She is survived by: her daughter Pamela Cotney Parker Chaffin; and her grandchildren, Charles Hamp "Trey" Chaffin III (Becky), Steven Andrew "Drew" Chaffin, Stephanie Carole Arnow (Rick) and Terri Parker Barnett (Eddie).
In lieu of flowers the family asks that memorial donations be made to First Baptist Church, the Southeast Cancer Society, or Wounded Warriors Project.
