Both the 1940 census and her marriage record indicate that Etta Mae was likely born about 1933 but her parents were not married until 1936. This brings into question whether or not she was truly a Parker. The several autosomal matches I have to this Gabbard line indicate that Ada Gabbard was certainly her mother.

The Ohio death records state she was born 13 Jan 1937 in Kentucky. She died at Berger Hospital, Circleville, Pickaway Co, Ohio on 8 Jan 1997. Parents' surnames were "Russell" (that was her father's given name) and Gabbert. She was married.
