Margie Palmer Thomas Obituary (1932 - 2017)

Margie Palmer Thomas, long-time resident of South Jordan, passed away April 21, 2017, surrounded by many who love her. Margie was very creative. She was an excellent poet and author of children's stories, three of which she wrote about her grandchildren. Margie enjoyed taking treats and making visits to the many family, neighbors, and friends that she cared so much for. She was very close to her extended family. She has many nieces and nephews, brothers, and a sister that hold her dear. To her nine grandchildren, twenty great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren, she is knows as Gram, Grandma Goose, Grams, and Grandma Grape! Each of them have their own treasured memories with her. Margie was preceded in death by her husband, Byron Lee Thomas, of Oakland, California. She and Lee have four children: Ron (Shelly), Lora Lee, Lynn (Cheryl), and Brett. Her sister Kay (Donn) Graham, and brothers Guy (Lynda) Palmer and Van (Sharon) Palmer, will all miss their sister dear. Our family would like to thank the many caregivers and friends at the Lodge at Jordan River, Carol Madsen, the staff at Jordan Valley Hospital, and Millcreek Hospice, that all provided our Mom with so much compassion and care.
