Jeanette Palmer

 Jeanette Elaine Palmer, age 72 of Syracuse, formerly of Johnson, passed away November 5, 2024, at the Good Samaritan Society in Syracuse. 

 Born November 26, 1951, the youngest child of Charles and Dorothy (Haase) Wiechert, Jeanette grew up on the family dairy farm. She attended elementary school in Emerald, Junior High at University High School, and graduated from Lincoln East High School in 1969. She attended the University of Nebraska gaining an undergraduate degree and then a teaching degree. She worked one year as a paraprofessional at Lincoln East Library 

before starting her teaching career at Tecumseh Public Schools, later Johnson County Central Public School. She retired in 2019, after over 42 years as an educator. 

 Jeanette married Duane Palmer on October 6, 1978. This union was blessed with two children, Garret and Shelby.

 Jeanette was an avid reader, enjoyed attending all her grandsons’ activities, and she and Duane both enjoyed traveling to the wide-open places to enjoy God’s creations. She was an active member of the Johnson United Methodist Church as well as the local PEO Chapter. Her faith was strong and unwavering, and she was always thinking of others. In everything she did, her impact was memorable.
