Doel Don Parker Sr.

DOEL DON PARKER, SR., 81, went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, September 14, 2021. He passed peacefully at his home in Choctaw, Oklahoma.  He was born January 13, 1940 in rural Okmulgee County, Ok to Tolen Earl Parker and Iva Vera (Batterton) Parker.

married the love of his life, Patricia Sue Evans. Together they built a legacy that will endure throughout time.

The most important thing in Doel’s life was his family. He loved spending time with his family and friends. The quality that everyone remembers most dearly is his infectious and ornery laugh.  He was always wearing a smile! He enjoyed hunting with his sons and grandsons and loved fishing, especially when he won bass tournaments! He was an avid sports fan and could spend hours watching Nascar, golf, basketball and football, particularly OU and Dallas Cowboys!
