Barbara Lee (Huss) Parker
December 28, 1942 December 14, 2007
Barbara Lee (Huss) Parker, 64, of Pokagon Highway in Niles passed away at Memorial Hospital in South Bend on Friday, December 14, 2007.
Barb was born on December 28, 1942 to the late Roy Huss and Doris (Davis) Huss-Sopher. She was one of 7 children in the Huss and Sopher household.
On June 10, 1970 Barb Huss wed the love of her life, John Parker at a secret ceremony in Dowagiac, Michigan.
Barb's number one joy in her life was her grandchildren; and they knew it. Her girlfriends, children and husband were also a large source of comfort. Though she immensely enjoyed the country life she enjoyed the atmosphere of the casino. She over decorated for every holiday but Christmas was her absolute favorite. Together with her girlfriends she started the Fire with Fire Euchre Club in 1972 to combat their husband's golf habits. After 20+ years of dedicated service at Tony's Supermarket she retired in 1994. Barb couldn't stay retired long though after she and John moved to Texas in the beginning of 1995 she soon started working for the Albertsons Inc. grocery store where she continued working for 8 years until they decided to move back to Michigan.
She is preceded in death by her parents Roy Huss, Bob and Doris (Huss) Sopher and 2 grandchildren Jonah and Alison Bounds.
Barb is survived by her loving husband of 37 years, John, Sons Todd (Sheryl) Bounds of Dowagiac, Robert Bounds of Niles and John (Lorie) Bounds of Niles and daughter Tracy Bounds of Niles, 15 Grandchildren and 2 Great-Grandchildren.
