Patsy Lorna Palmer (Aunty Patsy)

Patsy Palmer is an extraordinary individual who touched more lives for Jesus Christ than many of us will in our lifetime. She was especially vital in the sspiritual development of my children and my education on how to lead them to the Lord and nurture them in the ways of Jesus Christ.
She will be remembered with great appreciation until we meet above.

My memories of Auntie Patsy are great and will linger for a very long time. Your impact on my daughter, Rachel through Sunday school and camp shaped her life in amazing ways. Today, she is actively involved in church as she brings up her own son.
My admiration for you is great as you touched the lives of so many children in particular. May you rest in peace and God’s light shine on you eternally.

An extraordinary, amazing powerhouse of a woman—Auntie Patsy ❤️
I’m usually a woman of few words, but you always seemed to know exactly when I needed that extra push, those words of encouragement, and the reminder that God is always in control. You gave me grace when I couldn’t give it to myself, and for that, I will forever be grateful.
I feel truly blessed to have crossed paths with such a kind and genuine soul. You knew every child by name (meanwhile, I’m still mixing up my girls’ names 😄), and you showed each of them love, care, and attention like they were your own.
I always looked forward to seeing you—at school, church, prize-giving, sports day, fun day—you were always there, front and center, even asking for your $200 contribution 😄. But beyond all of that, you cared deeply. I wasn’t just another parent to you—you made it personal.
I’m so thankful I got the chance to know you on that level. I’m sad I won’t see you anymore—I truly wasn’t ready. Even now, when my girls have an attitude, I find myself saying, “Is that how you would speak to Auntie Patsy?” The discipline, the love, and the impact you’ve had on them will never fade.
You were the only one who could truly calm my oldest, and that’s something I will never forget.
Thank you for everything. I appreciate you always. You will forever hold a special place in my heart. ❤️ #smithgirls

Today I honor the life of a woman who played such an important role in shaping who I am—my adopted mother, Patsy Palmer.

Our journey together wasn’t always perfect. We had our ups and downs, and there were times when I didn’t fully understand her ways. She was strict, strong, and firm—but as I’ve grown, I’ve come to realize that everything she did came from a place of love. She wanted the best for me, even when it was hard for me to see it.

Mommy was a woman of strength and care. She showed love not just in words, but in her actions—in the guidance she gave, the rules she set, and the way she stood her ground. Those lessons, even the tough ones, have helped shape me into who I am today.

Even though we didn’t always see eye to eye, the love between us was real. And that’s what I will carry with me. I will remember her not just for the strict moments, but for the care behind them, for the role she played in my life, and for the impact she has left on my heart.

Rest in peace, mommy. 
Your love, your strength, and your lessons will never be forgotten.

Aunty Patsy walked with me during my journey as a Christian School Principal. Her love and support for me were without conditions. I'll forever remember her. I'm so blessed to have known her. So blessed. Until we meet again my friend 🕊 until we meet again.

Dr Patsy Palmer, more affectionally known as Aunty Patsy, helped mold the person I am today through the love, guidance and belief she had in me. She instilled in me that all hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads to poverty and that has stuck with me all these years. As both my Pastor and Principal, she showed me the importance of always believing in myself and working to show myself approved, as well as being a man of the spirit and of integrity. She will be greatly missed but she will never be forgotten. Rest In Peace

Dr. Palmer,a devoted Mother, Preacher, Teacher, Councillor and friend. Known to me through her two daughters Faith and Akelah from Wolmer's Girls. Was a strict disciplinarian who never spares the rod and spoil the child. A loving and caring mother who devotes her time in bringing up her family in the fear and admonition of the Lord. A strong Christian who loves the lord and gives freely to him. An excellent educator who cares and loves those who comes in contact with her. Doc, as I affectionately called her will be missed but not forgotten. Sleep on beloved, sleep and take your rest until we meet again on the other side of the Jordan.

Aunty Patsy contributed to the man that I am today. She will be greatly missed by my family, everyday I’m reminded that “All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads to poverty.”

Rest in Peace, Dr. Patsy Palmer. 🕊️💔
Today my heart is heavy as I reflect on the incredible woman you were and the unforgettable impact you had on my life. There are some people placed in our lives by God whose love, guidance, and belief in us changes our path forever and for me, you were one of those rare and extraordinary people.
You gave me opportunities that helped shape the very foundation of who I am today. You gave me the honor of being one of the very first students at your school, and later, you trusted me enough to offer me my very first job. Those may have seemed like moments in time, but to me, they were life changing blessings that opened doors and built the man I stand as today.
Because of your influence, your wisdom, your discipline, and your belief in me, I became stronger. I became better. I became the man I am proud to be a father, a son, and a soldier. Your hand is in that. Your love is in that. Your legacy lives in that.
You were more than an educator. More than a mentor. More than a leader. You were a light. A woman of purpose, grace, strength, and vision. You poured into so many lives, and I know without question that I am one of the many who will carry your impact forever.
Though you may be gone from this earth, you will never be gone from my heart. Your name, your lessons, your kindness, and your belief in me will live on in everything I do. I will forever be grateful to have known you, to have learned from you, and to have been loved and guided by you.
Thank you, Aunty Patsy, for helping raise me into the man I am today.
Thank you for seeing something in me.
Thank you for changing my life.
May your beautiful soul rest in eternal peace. You will never be forgotten. 🤍🕊️
