Rosellen Jiles Parker
FORT WORTH — Rosellen Jiles Parker passed peacefully on Wednesday, March 13th. Service: 11:00 a.m. Saturday, March 16th at Mayfield Kiser Funeral Home. Visitation: 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, March 15th at Mayfield Kiser Funeral Home. Rosellen Jiles Parker was born June 15, 1918 in Galveston, Texas to Dewey Vernon Jiles of Cleburne and Rosalie Clark Jiles of Galveston. She grew up in Cleburne where she made lifelong friends and cared for her brothers and sisters. Rosellen’s stories about her childhood in Cleburne, the best place to grow up she’d always say, could make anyone laugh and long for days past. William R. Parker, “Bill,” met his sweetheart, “Rosie,” in Cleburne and was married September 12, 1939. They moved to Fort Worth where they reared their children, made more friends and traveled throughout the state. Bill predeceased Rosellen on January 5, 2003 after 63 years of marriage. To have known Rosellen, you would know you were always welcome in her home. She was a lady of integrity; showing mercy and equality to everyone she met and putting them before herself. She had a beautiful, quick, infectious and quiet laugh that endeared her to her family and friends even more. Survivors: Brothers Jeff Jiles of Arlington and Randy Jiles of Cleburne; sister, Janice Colley; son, Bill Parker, Jr. and wife, Pat; daughter Sue Yowell and husband, Jerry; grandchildren, Christie Newman and husband, Mike; Clay Yowell; Rhonda Baugh and husband, Tim; Robin Roberts; Bill Parker III, and wife, Melody; and thirteen great grandchildren, all of whom rejoice in Rosellen’s eternal life in heaven
