Preston - Wanda Checketts Palmer slipped away from mortality on October 23, 2009 to a glorious reunion with her eternal companion and other loved ones. Less than a month away from her 90th birthday, she dedicated life to serving the Lord and her family.

She spent the first few years of married life living in Florida where her husband served in the military, and where her oldest two children were born. In 1946 she returned to Preston with her husband to live and raise eight children.
She had a unwavering testimony of the restored Gospel and studied her scriptures regularly until the end of her life. She served faithfully in many capacities in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including service for 13 consecutive years as ward Relief Society Spiritual Living Teacher. For 12 years she served with her husband as an officiator in the Logan Temple. To better assist Spanish speaking temple patrons she took Spanish classes. She loved spending time with her children and grandchildren and creating beauty in her home and garden.
