Crescent Springs' Charlotte Parker
Working at McDonald's for 20 years, Charlotte Ann Parker got to know the sound of her regular customers' voices.
Mrs. Parker was at the drive-through window of the Crescent Springs restaurant from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. every morning.
"She'd say, "OK, Jack, it's $1.42, ' or "How's it going Bob? That will be $1.86, ' " said Donald R. Parker, her husband of 43 years.
Mrs. Parker, 62, of Crescent Springs, died at 8 a.m. Monday at her home.
Her husband, a heart patient, said she started her job at McDonald's when he retired because of his disability.
"She was my nurse and my buddy and my lover and my best friend, " he said.
The Parkers met on a blind date at a concert at Devou Park.
In the summer, they traveled throughout Kentucky, camping. They enjoyed their seven grandchildren, who range in age from 2 to 20.
One of Mrs. Parker's hobbies was sending thank-you and get-well cards to prominent people. She sent cards to Presidents Carter, Reagan and Clinton, and received letters of acknowledgement from them, her husband said.
She received a rosary and bottle of holy water from the pope after sending him a card.
"Last year she used three 100-stamp rolls to send cards, " Mr. Parker said. "She loved sending cards. She kept a book full of birthdates."
Another of her hobbies was square dancing. The couple took lessons in 1979. They were members of Crescent Springs Squares, Kentucky Cousins, Tandem Squares and Y Squares square-dance groups.
Mrs. Parker also was a member of the Crescent Springs Ladies Auxiliary Volunteer Fire Department and the Crescent Springs Presbyterian Church.
