Leaving many people who will miss his wonderful, happy spirit, Parley Cardon Hamblin, died on Oct. 2, 2008, at Rogue Valley Medical Center. He was born on the 27th of July 1932 in Eagar, Arizona, which is a small mountain town, at 7100 foot elevation. He will return to Eagar, where he will be buried beside his parents, Roscoe and Dora Hamblin, and a baby daughter who preceeded him in death.
His adult life was spent in Mt. Shasta and Yreka, Calif., where he owned glass shops. He moved to Medford in 2006.
He always had a strong testimony on the Savior, and tried to live his life following Jesus’ example. He belonged to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He served in many positions in the church, including being a Bishop, Stake President, a Mission President, and Stake Patriarch and a faithful home teacher. He had an amazing capacity to love all he met and made everyone feel that love. He was the patriarch of his family of seven children; 24 grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren, and will be greatly missed by his wife Katherine and his wonderful children and their families.
There will be a viewing at the Perl Funeral Home in Medford from 7 to 8:30 on Tuesday evening, the 7th of October. The following day will be the funeral at 10 am, at the LDS church on Juanipero Way.
Parley’s wife and children would like to express their appreciation for the outpouring of love and wonderful support they have received from the many people who loved Parley.
