Ellaina Marie Palmer  December  11 , 2019 Ellaina “Ella”  (Marie) Palmer ,90, Passed away December 11 , 2019  Though she was surrounded by family and friends alike in the hours before, Ella waited until the wee hours to joyfully cross, when we had gone home. In the days prior to her death, she had joked that she would prefer to do so while indisposed, so that we could write that she died how she lived: as a Queen on her throne. Due to complications that forced bed rest instead, we surmise that Ella waited patiently for us to need bed and a shower, before meeting her Savior on her own terms. Such was the humor of our beloved mom, grandma, sister, cousin, aunt, and friend.
