Palma was a lifelong member of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church. She was active in the Altar-Rosary Society and could be counted on to help whenever needed. A wonderful cook; her meatballs and tomato sauce were outstanding. Palma would never let you leave her home without taking home “a little something” to eat. An avid sports fan, she and Hodgie would travel to New York to watch the Yankees. They were her team. They would schedule vacations in Florida for baseball spring training. She loved to go dancing with Hodgie and their many friends. Above all Palma was most happy when in the company of her beloved grandchildren. She would go to all of the sporting events, whether it was high school or college. It was never too far for her to travel. She was their loudest cheerleader. Always encouraging them and proud of all their accomplishments. Palma will be remembered for her strong work ethic, grace through difficult times, her great love for her family and friends, and her strong values.
