"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7
Sharyn Jean Parker Sparks, 78, of Dyersburg, Tennessee walked through the pearly gates of Heaven on Wednesday, February 12, 2025.
Born April 8, 1946, she was the daughter of the late Wick and Louise Parker. She was raised in a Christian home that was a true example of a close-knit family.

She deeply loved her family and carried out her roles of wife, mom, mother-in-law, sister, daughter, aunt, and her most favorite, grandma, unselfishly and with benevolence. Her humble personality was evident throughout her life, but even more apparent in her last days.
In her 20 years at Newbern Drug, she formed many lifelong friendships with her co-workers and customers.
She leaves to cherish her memory her two daughters, Lisa Moore (William) and Laura Bartlett (Chad), her deeply loved grandchildren, James Moore, Lanna Moore, Chase Bartlett and Maggie Bartlett Nanney (Hudson), one sister, Nora Brimm. Two brothers, William (Babe), Parker (Barbara) and Larry Parker (Vanice).
