Felicia Parden

Felicia Parden (Felice), 69, beloved Mother, Spouse, Sister, and Daughter, was called to her eternal resting place on May 2, 2025. She entered this world on October 3, 1955 in Dodge City, KS, born to Charles Shelly Finegan Jr and Bette Rae Leavitt.

Felicia loved reading and writing short stories. She loved horses, traveling, road trips, and music. She loved giving compliments to strangers. Her greatest and proudest achievement in life was raising her 4 children.

Felicia was an inspiration to those who knew her. Anything in life she wanted to do, she did. She was a semi-truck driver, vet assistant, and even a race car driver. She raised horses and she raced them. She was rebellious and sometimes outspoken. She was generous, loved to laugh, and she loved unconditionally.

She is survived by her children Kenneth Sprague, Billy Barthol Jr, Rebecca Davis, and Jennifer Combs; stepsons Danny Parden, Christopher Parden, and Andy Parden; 12 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. She is also survived by her siblings Claire (Paul) Robillard, Charles (Sherryl) S Finegan, Nona (Kit) Kelly, and Michelle (Bruce) Smith. She was preceded in death by her husband, James E Parden.

A memorial service will be held on May 9, 2025 at 4pm at French's Funeral Home on 9300 Golf Course Rd NW, Albuquerque, NM 87114.
