Alton L. Parmenter went home
to be with his Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ, on December 21,
2012 in Grand Junction, CO. He
was 71. Al was born in Fairview,
OK to Forrest E. and Dorothy
Wilson Parmenter. He married
Susan J. Underwood on April 10,
1959 and had two children, Julie
Parmenter (Marlyn) Morey of
Grand Junction, CO and Tamara
Parmenter (Greg) Wadleigh of Grenola, KS.
He was preceded in death by his parents and two of his sisters,
Joella Horton and Lavonna Phillips. He is survived by his wife and
daughters, his siblings, Bill Parmenter, Delbert Parmenter, Darrol
Parmenter and Patsy Phillips, by four grandchildren, Geoffrey
Morey, Courtnee Morey Schmitt, Amy Wadleigh Jewett, Andy
Wadleigh and by five great grandchildren.
Al worked for Midland Telephone Company in Moab, Utah for
many years, but always had an entrepreneurial spirit, starting, buying
and selling several businesses. He loved to tinker in his shop
and his friends and family fondly remember that he usually
“whistled while he worked.” He liked to sing and play the guitar
and his great sense of humor will be sorely missed, but his all -time
favorite hobby was flying any of the 3 single-engine airplanes he
owned over the years.
A celebration of Alton L. Parmenter's life will take place on
December 27 at 10:30 a.m. at Callahan Edfast Mortuary, 2515
Patterson Road in Grand Junction. In lieu of flowers, donations can
be made to Hospice & Palliative Care of Western Colorado.
