On March 18, 1947, a handsome baby boy was born to the parents of Raymond and Ora Lee Palmer, they named him Howard Palmer. His parents reared a host of other children as well. The family settled in Sealy, Texas.

Mr. Howard met Miss Dorothy Gilmore and the two eventually united and begun a family in Sealy, Texas. Howard provided for his family by working as a rancher, while his wife was a homemaker. they were blessed with seven children. Later in life Dorothy began her working career with the Bellville Independent School district; there she worked for over 20 years.

They were members of Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church of Sealy, Texas. They were very faithful in the church. Dorothy loved to read her Bible and making her family happy by telling jokes. They were both very faithful in working for the Lord.

This talented couple took the Bellville community by storm through their powerful demonstration of servant hood, integrity, hard work ethics, and above all, a love for humanity. On October 17, our hearts were saddened when they departed this life.

Howard was preceded in death by his parents, Raymond and Ora Lee Palmer and their one son, Howard Lee Palmer Jr., and two sisters, Rosie Lee Haynes and Lena Mae Palmer and one brother, George Palmer.
