Celeste Marcellar Parker

Celeste Marcellar Parker was born on July 12, 1967, to the union of George and Edith Parker in Conway, South Carolina, where she has lived her entire life. On Sunday, June 7, 2026, Celeste surrendered to her  battle and embraced eternal rest surrounded by her family. 

Celeste received her education in the Horry County School System. She gave her life to God and became an active member of Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church. She enjoyed going to church whenever she could, even when she was sick. That was one of her greatest joys, and she loved her church family. Celeste was a loving daughter, mother, sister, grandmother, and caring friend with a big heart. She enjoyed singing, dancing, eating seafood, especially blue crabs, fishing, nurturing her many plants, and playing a good game of spades, which she was very good at and mostly undefeated. But more than anything, she loved her grandchildren, and she loved spending time with them. 

Celeste was preceded in death by her father, George H. Parker.
