Joanne M. Parks, 91 of Toledo, Ohio passed away on Saturday, November 18, 2017 in St. Lukes Hospital. Joanne was born in Toledo on February 5, 1926 to Dale and Abbie (Neil) Sipe. She was a 1944 graduate of Waite High School and worked for Krogers for 29 years before her retirement in 1989. Mrs. Parks was a longtime member of Eastminster Presbyterian Church, where her family attended. She was a member of several organizations and a 70-year member of the Lotus Lodge Order of Eastern Stars, Chapter 477. She was the widow of the love of her life, Anscile "Ray" Parks who she met roller skating at Forest Park. Ray preceded her in death in 1991. She was especially proud of her Christmas tree filled with picture ornaments of all her "Babies. As the mother of three girls, and being an excellent seamstress, she was most proud of the many prom dresses she made, and especially proud and honored to make all three of her girls' wedding dresses. She was the last of the Mason Street "Moms", where all the neighbor kids felt loved and protected. Many knew her as a great cook, and she will be remembered as the "Queen" of jello salads, as they were her forte. She always had time for her family and they were her life. She was exceptionally proud of her grandchildren, and her great-grandchildren made her smile. From her family, this is not goodbye but "See ya later alligator, After while, crocodile."
