Frances Marion (Curlee) Palmer, 88, of Middletown, widow of Morley B. Palmer, died at Middlesex Memorial Hospital on Thursday (January 22, 2009) in her beloved daughter's arms after a courageous battle against a long illness.
A long-time resident of Cromwell and later Middletown, Frances worked all her adult life as a key-punch operator at several area firms, including Travelers Insurance, Capewell Mfg., and Ames Department Store. She loved her family, music, teddy bears, lilacs, lemons, movies, Milky-ways, and a good laugh. An avid reader, Frances was also a crossword-puzzle whiz, and loved Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune game shows, where she could test her knowledge against the contestants.
Mrs. Palmer leaves a daughter, Sharon Palmer of Middletown; sisters, Mary Wirtz and Barbara Rubenthaler of Upland, CA; granddaughter Meghan Wessel of Berlin; and daughter-in-law Kathleen Thompson of Hebron. She was predeceased by her son Jerry Palmer; a sister Norma Rice; and brother William Curlee.
There will be a Funeral Service held on Monday, January 26 at 11 a.m. at the Rose Hill Funeral Home, 580 Elm Street, Rocky Hill.
Christian Burial Services will be in Rose Hill Memorial Park, Rocky Hill.
