Leila Alberta Parker, "Mamaw", age 91, of Louisville, passed away Monday, April 5, 2021 at home.  She never let anyone go hungry and you never double-dipped food.  She always had sweet tea ready made with her mountain water, and you never washed your nasty hands in her kitchen sink.  Loved by many, she lived by and taught us to love one another, pray and be kind.
