On May 28, 1969 Alice and her brother, Melvin, both students at BYU were returning home to their home in Lanark when a pickup pulled across the road into their lane of traffic.  The Parker car hit the pickup broadside throwing Miss Parker against the windshield resulting in severe head injuries.  Miss Parker was taken to Logan and then to Ogden where she died minutes after arrival. 

She is survived by her parents, four brothers and one sister.  Funeral services were held at the Liberty LDS Ward Chapel.  Interment was in the Liberty Cemetery.
