Jack Eugene Palmer's Obituary
Jack Eugene Palmer, 87, passed away peacefully on Saturday, April 27, 2019. A private service will be held in Andersonville National Cemetery.
Jack was born on June 6, 1931, to the late George and Icel May Thomas Palmer in Cincinnati, Iowa, where he grew up. He proudly served our country in the United States Marine Corp and earned a Purple Heart while serving in Korea. Jack was a member of the VFW, the Moose Club, and the American Legion in Marshalltown, Iowa. He worked as a Materials Control Manager for Lennox Industries. He was transferred to Arkansas in 1980, where he was a member of the Lions Club of Stuttgart. He retired from Lennox after 44 years of service. In 1994, Jack settled in Perry and was a starter/ranger at Houston Lake Country Club for over 10 years. He loved golf and was right at home helping others keep their games on track at HLCC. Jack was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Priscilla Palmer; and his sister, Colleen Willard.
