Tommie Sue Parr, age 75, of Kalamazoo and formerly of Three Rivers, passed away on Monday, March 16, 2026, at Beacon Kalamazoo.
She was born February 16, 1951 in Little Rock, Arkansas, the daughter of Tommy V. and Mary E. (Clayton) Parr.
Tommie was married to Sheridan “Ed” Harker, and they enjoyed attending church together. She loved cooking and had a special fondness for chocolate, especially Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and peppermint patties. Tommie also enjoyed music and attending concerts, particularly country concerts—and loved playing bingo.
Following an automobile accident in 2000, in which she was seriously injured and tragically lost her husband, Tommie spent many years in recovery under the compassionate care of Progressive Alternatives Foster Care.
She is survived by her son, Joseph Clayton (Pamela) Parr; one granddaughter; her brothers, Timothy Parr, Jeffrey Parr (Linda), and David Parr (Fran); her sister, Pat Misel; and many beloved nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Ed Harker; her sister, Nancy Nusbaum; and her brothers-in-law, Larry Misel and Micky Nusbaum.
Family and friends will be received on Saturday, March 28, 2026, beginning at 11:00 at Edwards Corners Bible Church 51047 Chamberlain Rd, Marcellus, MI 49067. A memorial service will follow at noon, with Pastor Jacob Stocking officiating.
Floral arrangements can be sent to Hohner Funeral Home 1004 Arnold St. Three Rivers, MI 49093.
Tim and family, sorry to hear of your sisters passing. Prayers sent for you all.
