It is with heavy hearts that the children and grandchildren of Iris Rena aka Tilly Love (also called Aunt Sue) would like to share the passing of their mother and grandmother on Tuesday February 2, 2022 in her home of 52 years after a short health battle. She was surrounded by all of her children and all of her grandchildren just the night before and was able to join hand to hand with them as they prayed for her journey to Glory. After a 20 day battle in the CVU & ICU with non-COVID related health issues, all that she wanted was to be home again and her final wishes were fulfilled and she spent her final hours surrounded by family and friends who are family. She was pain free, comfortable and peaceful when she left this earth after a good morning of tapping her hands to the music around her, squeezing her children's hands to comfort them, and after having a good cup of coffee. She slipped off with a smile on her face holding her son's hand just before noon. Born on April 6, 1943 in Cumberland, Tilly was the eighth child of the late Roy & Mildred (Burch) Park and was a Class of 1961 graduate from Fort Hill High School. She eloped with her high school sweetheart (from the other side of town), Clyde Melvin Love on June 10, 1961 while her mother was on vacation in Florida and spent her honeymoon at the Slumberland in LaVale. After a few weeks of marriage, they revealed their marriage to their families and began to build one of their own. Although Tilly worked a few different jobs in her younger years, her main career in life was raising her five children and watching and helping them and her grandchildren build lives of their own. In her later years, Tilly enjoyed her time as a part of the Downtown Cumberland community helping her son, David, with events and socials at Azad's of Cumberland at the Qashqai Gallery and during his time on the DDC. She loved hanging out in Downtown Cumberland and was a regular fixture to be seen on Baltimore and N. Centre Street any time that there was anything going on. This was a tradition she began with her late husband, Butch, as far back as the very first Friday After Fives when they would volunteer to help Ed Mullaney with anything that he needed from greeting visitors and tourists as ambassadors of Downtown, to cleaning up horse manure from the carriage rides that use to happen. Tilly and Butch truly loved the Downtown Cumberland community and always made "The Loop" anytime they were out and about. Whether they were having dinner somewhere close, or coming home from a drive or a vacation – the first place that they would drive, before even going home, was down Liberty Street up Pershing Street to N. Centre Street and down to City Hall – just to check on things. This is a tradition that Tilly carried on with her son, David, up until the end. She would love to check on what Geno was up to from his window at Coney Island, see if she would get a sighting of Ronnie Barb at the Cumberland Arms, check on her husband's memorial Dogwood in front of The Manhattan, what the flavor was on the Queen City Creamery board and then what progress was happening on N Centre Street. She truly loved being in and around Downtown Cumberland. In addition to her parents, Tilly was preceded in death by her husband of fifty years, Clyde Melvin "Butch" Love; three brothers - Ken Park, Don Park and Jack Parks; three sisters – Ann (Park) Goodrich, Bernie (Park) Donahoe, Carol (Park) Valasquez; sisters-n-law Karen (Love) Clayton and Gail (Love) Smith; and in-laws Melvin and Juanita (Knotts) Love. Tilly is survived by her five children; Scott & Toni Love, April & Gina Love/Harless, Darren & Jorge Love/Garcia-Meitin, David & Country Blake Shelton Love, and Mike & Staci Love; her grandchildren and great-grandchildren Ashleigh Love & Gerald Fox, Courtney & Johnny Cooper, Carmen Love & Timmy Staley, Wyatt Love, Ty Love, Brock Love, Kaylin Love, Macello Love Kitchen, Rocco Fox, Franco Fox and Theo Cooper. Two sisters, Norma (Park) James and Sharon (Park) Robertson and Gary; a brother Gary Park and Gin; sister-n-law Sandy (Love) Schell and many many nieces, nephews and extended and adopted friends who are family, especially her buddy Tabitha Barbarito. Tilly's family will receive visitors at Scarpelli's Funeral Home 108 Virginia Avenue on Sunday, February 6th from 6-9 PM. A celebration of life service will be conducted at the funeral on February 7th at noon with friends and family welcomed one hour prior to service followed by a grave side service being conducted at Sunset Memorial Park with Pastor Robin Kirchner officiating. At the family's request and to honor Tilly's love of Downtown Cumberland, the funeral procession from Scarpelli's to Sunset will take Tilly on her final journey through "The Loop" down Liberty Street and up North Centre Street before proceeding out Frederick Street to her final resting place. Tilly's children and grandchildren would also like to extend their deepest gratitude to the Care Coordinator of the ICU and the team with Hospice who helped her fulfill her final wishes to be home for her final hours. And, Tilly would like to thank all of her friends from around the country and world who supported her over the years and especially the last few weeks. "Don't Forget About Me!" – Tilly; "Tilly, we never would or could and never will" – your Tribe. And in true Tilly fashion – her family would like to encourage and welcome any and all flowers, or for gifts to be made to causes close to your heart in her honor – or to the charity of her heart – The Union Rescue Mission of Western Maryland.
