On the recordMarch 4, 2026
I rise to honor the gracious life of Sandra Waters Parker, who sadly passed away on February 3. Mrs. Parker was born in Brunswick, Georgia, as the eldest of seven children. She lived in Darien for 57 years, graduating Darien High as vice president of her class and receiving the highest honor of valedictorian. Mrs. Parker worked for the State of Georgia for 35 years in both the Department of Family and Children Services and the McIntosh County Chamber of Commerce. For more than 70 years, Mrs. Parker was an active and devoted member of Crescent Baptist Church, holding the roles of Sunday school teacher, pianist, and treasurer. Mrs. Parker will be remembered for her kind, generous, and honorable heart, serving her family, her State, and church diligently and compassionately. Mr. Speaker, I pray for her family and friends in this time of grief, but find comfort in the fact Sandra has walked through the pearly gates.
