Obituary
PALMER L CLEMENT 1995-05-09
obtained from the
Toledo Library.
"Palmer was a master quilter, as I recall. She was a judge in quilting shows.
She was a stickler for details in general. This last memory was due to
my recollections of her as a youth choir mother when I was young.
Hair, robes, clothes, behavior, had to be perfect."
