Mildred Rose Parker Hackwell....my sweet Grandma.

Mildred Rose Parker Hackwell 1923 ~ 2008 On December 13, 2008 our sweet, loving mother, Mildred Rose Parker Hackwell, quietly passed into the waiting arms of her husband, son, mother, and father. Mildred was born in Salt Lake City on September 26, 1923 to Clyde and Rose E. Swenson Parker. On March 28, 1942 she married Vernon Eugene Hackwell. Mom loved to crochet, spending many hours working on her doilies and tablecloths that she so generously shared with everyone. She was a very hard worker and worked at the Lunt Motel for many years. Mildred leaves a legacy of love and devotion to her children and grandchildren and a lifetime of memories and love. She leaves behind three children, Barbara (John) Pestana, Vern Jr. (Sherri Nelson) and Susan (John) Davis; 13 grandchildren and 28 great-grandchildren. Preceding her in death, her husband; son, David; son-in-law, John Pestana; mother and father; brother, Clyde Parker and sister, Lucille Wright. Services are Wednesday, December 17th, 11:00 a.m. at Lake Hills Memorial Mortuary, 10055 S. State Street. Friends and family may call one hour prior to services. A special thanks to the staff at the Clearfield Beehive House for the tender love and care they so freely gave to our mother and to our family.


I love my grandma dearly! She will always hold a special place in all our hearts. I can't even begin to imagine the reunion she had in heaven. So many open arms to greet and welcome her. What makes me so happy is knowing she is with grandpa and little David, her son she lost at the age of 5. How happy they all most be! I love you, Grandma.

So sorry for your loss. Aren't we so blessed to know that families are forever and death isn't the end?
