In London, ON, on Thursday, August 28, 2025, just after sunrise and six weeks before her 81st birthday. Mother of Chris (Shari), Kevin (Marlon), and Darryl (Sepideh), grandmother to Webby and Tyler, and Carter and Jaxon, and great-grandmother to Ayden. Daughter of John W. Park and Hilda (Solari) Park. Sister of Margaret “Peggy” (Park) Hoover and Anne Louise Park. Mom spent her final days with her dog Rylee and her three sons. Mom felt a connection with animals and with children. She worked as a crossing guard and a lunchroom supervisor, and she always had a cherished cat or dog. She took pride in her doll and plate collections, and she enjoyed tending to her plants, reading, and watching reality television. She was whip-smart at Scrabble, and she could be charmingly irreverent and funny. She fought vigorously, from start to finish, for her independence, and she was proud of her three sons. Mom dreamed ambitiously and wanted more grace in life and from life. She taught herself the language for love, appreciation, and pride. And what she might never have found enough of, she could give away abundantly. Mom will be loved and missed. My name was Son. Now, that name is lost to me. In the importance and noise of tomorrow, don’t let me forget, Mom. Continue to teach me how to love abundantly and persuade me to rejoice loudly – especially in a world that needs more grace. Rest, Peace, and Grace, Mom. The family is planning an interment at Hagersville Cemetery for October 4.
