In Memoriam - 

Mary Ann Parker

Gone but Not Forgotten

By Tom Culmsee

 News has come from her family that Mary Ann Parker, wife of Kirby, passed away this spring of natural causes. Mary Ann was a staple at all the contests in the Tri-Cities over the years, helping Kirby keep score and providing support to all of the flyers. She also hosted the wonderful BBQ’s on Saturday evening of the Sun Fly event for many years. Even after Kirby passed, she welcomed many of us out-of-town pilots into her home for overnight stays. Now she is back with Kirby and making a difference . . . up there.
