Lillie Palmer, age 73, of Winner and formerly of Huron, passed away on Monday, July 24, 2023 at Avera McKennan Hospital in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. A private memorial service will be held at a later date.

She was born December 30, 1949, in Jackson, Minnesota to Clifton and Myrlee Palmer.  Her parents moved to South Dakota soon after she was born. The family moved to Huron in 1963.  She graduated from Huron High School in 1968 and from Huron College in 1972. She started her 30 plus years of teaching in the Winner School District. "Teachers make little things count" were her words. After her retirement she was the church secretary at the Winner United Methodist Church for 12 years.

Lillie was active in Job's Daughters starting while a teenager and continuing into adulthood in various capacities in the local and state level. She traveled to Australia for the Supreme session. The official color for Job's Daughters is purple so anyone that knows Lillie would find that fitting.   She was a member of the Order of Eastern Star. She was also active in various community organizations and church committees.

She is survived by her sister Mary (Mike) Warner of Pasadena, MD, a brother Bruce (Paula) of Huron, SD, nieces and nephew Robyn (Brian) Warner-Brown of Bellflower, CA, Jordan (DJ) Mounga of Aberdeen, SD, Kirsten (Doug) Wichern of Augusta, ME, Lindsay Warner of Pasadena, MD and Blaine Warner of Pasadena, MD.

She was preceded in death by her parents.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to the United Methodist Church in Winner, SD.
