Clarice Elizabeth Ann Palmer Obituary

The family, with great sadness, announce the passing of Clarice Elizabeth Anne (Lindsay) Palmer at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital on August 13, 2018. Predeceased by her parents William and Clarice (Jackson) Lindsay, her husband Frederick Charles (Ted), sister Jean, brother Bill, brother-in-law Arthur (Hap) and sister-in-law Eileen. Elizabeth lived a life surrounded by loving family and friends here on Prince Edward Island, in Alberta and in her home province of Newfoundland. She will be remembered by many around the world through her association with the Rotary International Youth Exchange Program and hosting of International students studying at UPEI. Elizabeth will be especially remembered by friends Joan Rankin and Mary Follet, her 'Sam's' breakfast club, River Ridge friends and Edinburgh Drive neighborhood families. She lived a life of community involvement with Spring Park United Church, the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Rotary International and Beta Sigma Phi, among others. Her passion for high school band music was matched by her passion for salt fish and brewis, picking berries, culinary adventures and family gatherings. She lived through war, the loss of her mother at an early age, finding love in Corner Brook, NL, the raising of 4 beautiful children, oh so many car ferries, service to her community, the early passing of her spouse then the ultimate joy of grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was happiest at the 'cabin' by the river, on the beach, at a picnic, planning the next pot of soup and with family around the table. Among those that will celebrate her life and continue her legacy are her sons Bob, Terry and Andrew, daughter Kim, adopted daughters and son Dana, Sherrill, Roberta and Lee, grandchildren Becky, Ben, Jeff, Ryan, Tamara, Morgan, Tyler, Jessica, Nathan, Aric, Vanessa, Danielle and Dylan and 12 beautiful great grandchildren. Her Newfoundland family Dave and Gwen Alcock, Bill and Marliese Janes-Alcock will very much miss her spirit and love. Resting at Belvedere Funeral Home for visitation Wednesday 4-7 p.m. The funeral service will be held at Spring Park United Church on Thursday at 2:30 p.m. Interment later in People’s Cemetery, Charlottetown. Memorial donations may be made to the Spring Park United Church or the Rotary Club of Charlottetown. www.belvederefh.com

Elizabeth was the youngest child of my grandpa's oldest brother William. She helped me on a couple of occasions to unravel some of our family tree. I met her sister and brother-in-law, when I was a teenager, on one of their visits to Scotland. My dad has a photograph album dedicated to a visit my grandparents made to Newfoundland a few years before my great-uncle Will died. Elizabeth was a very late, but much loved baby, for her parents. Her siblings were about 20 and 15 when she was born, so quite an age gap. Being on Facebook has been a fun way for me to get to know her descendants, my cousins, better. My one regret is that we were not able to visit with her during her lifetime.
