She was born January 5, 1920, in rural Cherokee County to Miry and Minnie Smith Turney. Both parents preceded her in death in 1972 and 1985, respectively. At age 16, she graduated from Jacksonville High School. She received her degree in August, 1939, in Home Economics Education from TSCW (Texas State College for Women) and arrived via bus in front of the old Coleman Hotel, met the school board at Novice High School, and began teaching home economics there at age 19, October, 1939. She taught boys and girls for seven years. On September 7, 1940, she married David E. Parker in the Novice Methodist Church. They resided in Abilene prior to and during the first part of World War II. During that time, they also lived in Washington State, Long Beach, California, and finally in Pasadena, Texas. Their final move, via cattle truck, was to Coleman in March of 1945, when David established Coleman Plumbing and Supply, which he operated for approximately 44 years. He passed away in August, 1989. Bessie practiced and taught the art of homemaking. In August, 1954, she accepted the position of County Home Demonstration Agent for Coleman County (employed by Texas Agricultural Extension Service) and served the people of Coleman County for 25 years until retirement in 1980. During her service to the county, she received the first Coleman County Woman of the Year Award in 1961 and in 1980, she was recognized for Faithful and Meritorious Service to the people of Texas by the County Judges and Commissioners Association of Texas at Texas A & M College.
