Vera Lambert Palmer

"Together Again" What a joyous reunion is taking place in Heaven as Vera Lambert Palmer is reuniting with her husband Floyd A. Palmer, parents, and four sisters, who have been patiently waiting. She has departed from her family and friends with a loving legacy of unfaltering honesty, devotion and dedication. All of us will remember Vera’s life as more than a string of events, but her first important milestone was her birth on March 24, 1914 in West Point, Utah, to Henry J. and “Minnie” Patterson Lambert. After completing her education in David County Schools and Weber College, she began teaching school in Davis County. Vera married Floyd A. Palmer in the Salt Lake Temple on August 20, 1937. They were the parents of Phil Palmer of South Ogden, UT; and Glen Palmer of Phoenix, AZ; 8 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren, and 4 great-great-grandchildren. All are the benefactors of Vera’s continuous encouragement, love and true Christian example. She has also made many quilts and afghans for all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Having been raised on a farm, Vera thrived on a hard day’s work and gained an appreciation for an honestly earned dollar. Vera’s service to her church, community, and others provided great help and support to many individuals whose lives she touched. She continually taught, provided caring service, and worked to make her family, friends, and the world better and more virtuous. Vera was a lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and started teaching Sunday School at age 15. She served on the North Davis Sunday School Board. After she moved to Plain City, she served as the Junior Sunday School Coordinator, in the Presidency of MIA, Primary President, and on the North Weber Primary Board. Vera has worked in Relief Society presidencies and on the North Weber Primary Board, and visiting teacher for over 70 years. She was a member of the DUP (Daughters of Utah Pioneers) and served on DUP boards for many years. Using her ability with the French Language, Vera worked in the LDS Church Extraction program. This training enabled her to complete a significant amount of French Genealogy for her Father’s family from Belgium. Floyd and Vera worked 10 years at the LDS Church family History Center in Ogden, Utah. Her example instilled in her family, a true love of serving the Lord. After retirement from teaching, she has volunteered at the McKay Dee Hospital. She worked in the sewing room – quilting and making baby quilts at home for the hospital. She received a 14 year service pin and a special service pin for over 14,000 hours of voluntary hospital service work.
