December 21, 1961 – October 27, 2025
Julianne Dalton Parker of Panama City Beach, Florida, passed away peacefully at her home on Monday, October 27, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family.
Born in Jennings, Louisiana, on December 21, 1961, Julianne graduated from St. Mary’s High School in Natchitoches in 1979 and earned a Bachelor of Science in Toxicology from Northeast State University in 1985. She began her civil service career in Louisiana with Probation and Parole, but it was after moving to Panama City Beach that she truly found her calling.
For many years, Julianne devoted herself to the Florida Department of Children and Families, first in the Children’s Division and later in Elderly Care. Her work was challenging and often stressful, yet she approached it with compassion, patience, and determination. Julianne made a meaningful difference in the lives of countless individuals, both young and old, and retired in 2021 due to illness.
Julianne is survived by her husband, Dave Parker; her daughter, Camille Parker; her son, Jeffrey Parker; her grandson, Davey Parker; her mother, Elizabeth Dalton; her siblings, Joelle Evans (Sidney), Jeffrey Dalton Jr., and Jaimee Coughlen (Bill); and many beloved nieces, nephews, and great-nephews. She was preceded in death by her father, Jeffrey Wesley Dalton.
In her later years, Julianne embraced a more easygoing spirit. She loved traveling, watching game shows, and most of all, spending time with her family. Known for her caring heart, sharp wit, and unwavering loyalty, Julianne cherished lifelong friendships that spanned back to her grade school days.
A celebration of Julianne’s life will be held at a later date. The family wishes to extend their heartfelt thanks to everyone for their thoughts, prayers, and support during this time of loss.
Julianne will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her, and her memory will live on in the hearts of her family, friends, and the many lives she touched.
