They were married for 631/2 years. As their children, we always knew the love they had for each other. That was a wonderful way to be brought up.
Ginny was a very hardworking farm wife and still always found time to take care of Dad's plastering business accounts. She was a wonderful and loving mother to her eight children, and a precious, gentle mother-in-law, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was a special sister to her brothers, sisters, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law and her many friends. She always had gentle words and a gentle way of helping any of us when we needed anything and never said an unkind word about anyone.
She was a member of the Immaculate Conception Parish Ladies Sodality. Her faith and love for Jesus brought her through many obstacles in her life. She instilled the faith of God in all of us, which we will carry with us throughout our lives and her grandchildren's lives.
She loved her children and in-laws and always said they were perfect. She adored her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and loved when she could spend time with them. She always said each one of them was her favorite and always was throwing holy water their way to protect them.
Ginny had a very special bond with her brothers and sisters, taking yearly vacations to Michigan and up north. No matter where they went, she was so happy just to be together with them. Her children were very fortunate to be able to spend time with them on those special vacations.
She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. She was the center of our family circle and will remain in the center of our family because she will be in our hearts forever.

Brenda attended Dubuque Senior High School. She lived a happy, fulfilling life in Dubuque and also resided in Boise, Idaho for a time. Brenda was employed as a Para Professional at Senior High School for 20 years and also worked at Fed Ex. She enjoyed both of her jobs, and always found great pride in helping all the children who came into her life. She married Bill Parker on July 12, 1986, at the Dubuque Arboretum and they have been inseparable ever since. Brenda was an inspiration to everyone she met, always full of energy and life. She was the best wife, mother, grandma, daughter, sister and friend a person could ask for. Brenda was loved and cared for by many, many people and will be remembered for the way she touched their lives. She loved to laugh, garden, riding motorcycles, spending time on the river and was an excellent cook. Her greatest joy was spending time with family and friends.
