Obituary of Leah Irene Parks

Matthew 19:14 “But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”

Leah Irene Parks, age 22 months of Kingsport, was cradled into the arms of Jesus on Friday, April 1, 2022.  Leah was born on May 20, 2020 in Nashville, TN to Jimmy and Linda Parks. 

Leah was so precious and loved.  Leah always felt loved and secured, and she had the most easy going personality.  She was a content little girl and everyone who knew her could feel the peace that radiated from her beautiful spirit. 

Leah was preceded in death by her paternal grandfather, Delmar Ray Parks; and maternal grandfather, Alfredo Garcia.  Those left to cherish her beautiful memory are her parents, Jimmy and Linda Parks; brothers, Jesse, Grant, Noah, Jeremiah, and Elliott; sisters, Annabelle, Chloe, Emma, and Abigail; grandmother, Irene Parks; grandparents, Walter and Sonia Buehrens; and a host of other loving family members and friends. 

The family will receive friends on Tuesday, April 5, 2022 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm at Higher Ground Baptist Church with Brother David Dotson officiating.  There will be a private graveside service on Wednesday, April 6, 2022 at Depew’s Chapel Cemetery.  Serving as pallbearers will be Leah’s family.
