Her mother and father often said she should have had the middle name of “Go” because she loved to travel. For 23 years she followed Honey wherever the Army sent him, and she was allowed to go. After the military days she and Honey traveled in their motorhome as much as they could. She managed to see all 50 states, part of Mexico, and every province in Canada. Her travels included most of Europe, much of the Mediterranean, Panama, and Japan. Mrs. Palmer retired from Publix Supermarkets in 1983 where she worked as the head cashier. She was married to the love of her life Oscar “Honey” Palmer, Jr. for more than 49 years. Survivors include: David C. Palmer (Michele) of NC, Raymond “Paul” Palmer (Diana) of SC, 6 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren and 6 great-great-grandchildren.
The family would like to thank the care givers and staff of Life Care of Charleston. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer’s Association.
