Eileen Frances Fox Parker, 76, passed away on March 30, 2025, leaving a devoted family behind.

Born on March 18, 1949, at Providence Hospital in Washington, DC. She was the first-born child of Edward and Josephine Noone Fox. She spent her early years growing up in District Heights, Maryland. She married the love of her life, James B. Parker, on February 4, 1967, at Mount Calvary Church. They lived in Stevensville, MD where they raised two children, Victoria and Buzz. In the early 1980s the family moved to Fullerton, Calif. and later to Arcata, to be near their grandchildren, Amelia and Nicholas.

She is also survived by her siblings, Barbara, Carol, Ed, Jeanne, Bill and Bert and multitudes of nieces and nephews.

Eileen’s legacy is one of love, generosity, and unwavering dedication to her family. She was an avid fan of the Humboldt Crabs Baseball team, who play at the Arcata Ball Park, and the San Francisco Giants. Her presence will be deeply missed, but her spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Humboldt Crabs in Arcata.
