| Lives Celebrated: Beth Parker, 1922 - 1997
Beth Parker died on Saturday 25 October 1997 in her 76th year. A friend in all tiers of the epilepsy movement in Canada, Beth was a founder of Epilepsy Hamilton & District and a colleague of Epilepsy Ontario and Epilepsy Canada.
As architect of GLAD DAYS, Beth wanted to make the bright, colourful flower a symbol of hope for all with epilepsy.
Beth was an unique, dynamic and inspiring person; her absence will leave a giant hole in many hearts across the country. Our condolences and sympathy go to her many friends and family and especially to her husband, Al. |
