Jennifer Parks

Jennifer Miller Parks, 49, of Eau Claire, passed away Saturday morning, Aug. 29, 2020, at West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh following a courageous battle with leukemia.

Born in Grove City on Nov. 13, 1970, she was the daughter of Gary Miller and the late Sally Brown (Miller).

She was of the United Methodist faith.

Jennifer graduated from Grove City High School and Mercer County Vo-Tech.

She had been employed several years as a beautician in the Grove City area. Nearly 20 years ago she became owner-operator of Parks Place hairstyling in Eau Claire until ill health forced her closing of that business.

Jennifer is survived by her husband, Timothy B. “Tim” Parks; daughter, Blake Parks; and sons, Mitchell and Russell Parks, all of Eau Claire; her father and stepmother, Gary and Bettie Miller of Sandy Lake; and paternal grandmother, Jane Miller Virtue of Grove City. Also surviving are a number of aunts, uncles, and cousins.
