<div itemprop="description">With sad hearts and loving memories, we announce the passing of Donalda MERLE Parker (nee McLachlan) on Saturday, February 21, 2015 in Regina, Saskatchewan at the age of 98 years. <br /><br />Merle was the devoted wife of 69 years to Bill (1914-2008) and proud mother and mother-in-law of Stewart and Martha Parker, Donnie Parker and David Anderson and the late Lutz Streitel. She was the adored grandmother of Karly Black (Brendan), Alison Parker and Geoff Streitel (Leith Anderson) and delighted to be great-grandmother to Emilee and Helen Black and Georgia Streitel. <br /><br />Merle was predeceased by her twin sister, best friend and confidante, Beryl (McLachlan) Mitchell in1996. <br /><br />She is survived by Beryl&rsquo;s son and special nephew Hartley Mitchell. <br /><br />A longtime resident of Montreal and Baie d&rsquo;Urfe Quebec, Merle and Bill moved to Regina in June 2008 to be closer to their family. While missing her home of 63 years in Baie d&rsquo;Urfe, Merle adapted well to her new environment. She became fascinated by the prairie fields and skies; was thankful for new and caring friendships; and was happy to be in the company of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren whenever possible. <br /><br />A family graveside service will be held at a later date. <br /><br />Arrangements entrusted to Regina Funeral Home (306) 789-8850.</div>
