Rachel Hoback Parker of Crewe, VA passed away on October 31, 2020. She was born on September 26, 1926 to the late John S and Macie Robertson Hoback in Bedford, VA. She was raised on a farm and grew to love tending the soil and animals. She married Ralph E. Reynolds and they had six sons. A hardworking woman, Rachel bought a farm to continue her love of caring for livestock and to keep her children out of trouble. She later married George R. Parker, and they had a daughter together. They moved to Crewe in 1976 where she continued to farm until her death. She was especially talented in dairy and poultry and was an active board member of the Piedmont Soil and Water, Southern States, VA Poultry Federation, and the D.H.I.A.
