SHARPES CHAPEL, TN: Paula (McEachern) Parke, 65, formerly of Hampstead, NH, passed away in Knoxville, TN on June 15, 2025, with her loving husband and daughter by her side.

Paula devoted her life to serving others during her career as a nurse, as well as volunteer work with countless organizations throughout her lifetime. Her selfless personality shone brightest as the most exemplary wife, and grandmother. Paula was a maker of many things, a lover of fun and adventure, and a sunset chaser.

Paula is survived by her husband Carl W. Parke, two daughters, and seven beautiful grandchildren; as well as her parents, three brothers, sister, and too many friends to count. Paula was one of the most loving, thoughtful people to have ever walked this earth. Her daughters will forever strive to follow her example, and she will be deeply missed by everyone who knew her.
