Anna M. (Charron) Palmer

Anna M. Palmer, age 97, formerly of Warwick, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, November 30, 2022 at St. Elizabeth Home, E. Greenwich.  She was the beloved wife of the late Roger E. Palmer.   Born on the family farm in So Attleboro, MA, a daughter of the late Theodore and Antoinette (Paquette)  Charron, she lived in Warwick for 30 years before moving to St. Elizabeth’s earlier this year.

She is survived by her loving daughter and son-in-law, Samantha and Thomas “Butch” LeGrett of Canandaigua, NY, sister Roselyn Oliveira of Seekonk, MA and brother Donald Charron of Warwick.   She was the sister of the late George, Richard, Theodore and Baby David Charron, and Dolores Landry.   She leaves behind many cherished nieces and nephews.
Ann’s last 7 months were made very special, comfortable and enjoyable by adventures with her loving friend Rita, and also the exceptional care provided by the entire staff at St. Elizabeth’s. The family will be eternally grateful.

Ann was an Executive Secretary with many years at Premier Thread Company.  Her attention to detail was remarkable.
Anyone who knew Ann, knew her love for life and nature.    She hiked into the Grand Canyon and climbed Mt. Whitney, CA (14,494 feet), canoed the Okefenokee Wildlife Refuge, GA and the Everglades, FL.  She enjoyed skiing, ballroom dancing, golf, and birding.  She really lived….   Ann was a lifetime member of the Audubon Society of RI, Pilgrim Lutheran Church, Appalachian Mountain Club and Rose Island Lighthouse Foundation.

A memorial service to celebrate Ann’s life will be held Thursday, December 8 at 10am at Pilgrim Lutheran Church, 1817 Warwick Avenue, Warwick.  Burial will be in the Wildwood Cemetery in Gardner, MA at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Ann’s memory to the Audubon Society of RI, 12 Sanderson Road, Smithfield, RI 02917 (asri.org) would be appreciated.
Arrangements with Bellows Funeral Chapel, 160 River Road, Lincoln.
