In Loving Memory

St. George, Utah-Lillian A. Palmer, 90, died April 21, 2024. Born Jan. 16, 1934, in Salt Lake City, Utah to Charles Wilkinson Angell, and Ellen M. Rees Angell. She married Edson J.

She graduated in 1972, and continued her employment at the college, working in the finance department processing student loans for 2yrs. When it was time, Lillian challenged her

knowledge and experience by making a career move to Varian Assoc. for 17 years and enjoying a much-deserved retirement in 1992.

Lillian was a dedicated, compassionate, and loving mom. She was a devoted grandmother, at which time she said was one of the greatest joys of her life. Lillian's family was the most important thing. She was the rock that kept relationships, and events with her family together. Lillian had a presence that was sweet and wise with a dose of stern discipline. Her great sense of humor made her a joy to be with.

After retirement Lillian & Jay traveled by motor home to all of the lower 48 states, visiting the Capitals of every state. They also went on cruises to Hawaii, Alaska, Panama Canal, Mediterranean, & Baltic Sea. She also toured Japan, China, & Korea, with Russ & family. Lil and Jay moved to St. George in 2002.

Rawson (Dana), Priest River ID. Lil had seven grandchildren, and eleven great grandchildren.

The family wants to thank DIXIE HOME HOSPICE for their excellent and passionate caring for our wife and mother.

She requested that no funeral services be conducted.

In lieu of flowers, I would prefer that donation be made to the Alzheimer's Association.
