Nila Parker
Obituary
Nila June Martin was born on July 9, 1941, in Elkville, Illinois.
She was one of seven children born from the union of the late Wilbert and Emma (Stamm) Martin. Growing up the daughter of a coal miner, the family would move to Westland, Michigan, when June was just 2 years old to find better working conditions. She attended Wayne Memorial High School.
June was blessed with two sons from a former marriage. She would marry Everett Parker on May 18, 1963, in Winchester, Virginia. Together the couple would be blessed with two daughters. June would care for the needs of her husband and four children as a homemaker.
She was very outgoing and enjoyed dancing, especially the jitterbug. June loved to spend time at the family cabin near Glennie and was an expert when it came to the town’s history. She enjoyed being outdoors; deer spotting, fishing and picking berries. Each year she looked forward to the fall color rides. For many years her journeys included her two feline companions Tiny and Baby before their passing.
A lucky lady, June, enjoyed taking her chances at the casino and playing bingo. She liked to fill her time at home watching “American Pickers” and “Storage Wars” or reading history and true crime stories.
Nila June Parker, age 78, of Newport, Michigan, a former Dunkirk resident, passed away at 9:10 p.m. on Monday, March 30, 2020, at Ebeid Hospice Residence in Sylvania. In addition to her parents, her passing was preceded by five siblings, Wilbert Martin, Leo Ray Martin, Wilma Hopkins, Charles Martin and Wanda Roe.
To cherish her memory, June leaves her four children, Larry Joe Beliles Sr. of Howell, Michigan, Chester Ray Beliles of the Upper Peninsula, Michigan, Emma May (Rob) Nolff of Newport, and Everetta Ann (Kevin Sager) Parker of Portland, Indiana; a daughter-in-law, Barbara Huber of Bluffton, Indiana; a brother, Wayne Martin of Oscoda; grandchildren Bobbi (Jason), Larry Joe Jr., Todd, Adam, Lacey (Josh), Bradley and Brooklyn; great-grandchildren Maykala, Mia, Ausin, Jacob and Loki; special niece Donna Sue Sperlbaum; a special nephew, Charles (Patti) Martin; and many other nieces and nephews.
Due to the unfortunate COVID-19 pandemic, no services are planned at this time, but a memorial service will be scheduled in the future. Arrangements have been entrusted to Merkle Funeral Service, North Monroe.
Memorials are suggested to Wounded Warrior Project or American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
