IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Gloria Jean
Palmer
April 13, 1944 – October 17, 2025
In the quiet moments when words fall short, we remember the strength of a woman who shaped our lives not with grand gestures but with unwavering love and resilience. Our mother was a force. A bold, brave, spicy, and complex soul who lived life unapologetically and on her own terms.
She weathered many storms with dignity, faced pain with courage and taught us that strength is not the absence of struggle but the presence of faith in the midst of it. She chose peace over intervention, and we honored that decision not as a surrender, but as a final act of strength.
She has not left us, she is leading us once more, this time into acceptance, into love that transcends time, and to the sacred space where spirit meets eternity. We mourn because we love deeply but we also celebrate her life, her legacy, and the quiet power she carried through every season.
Mom, you were one of a kind. And though you may have left this world, your essence lives on in every story, every laugh, and every heart you touched. We love you. We honor you. And we thank you for showing us how to live boldly. Let us hold each other close, speak her name with reverence and remember her story lives on in us. Her strength is our inheritance, and her love is our compass.
