Obituary
Obituary for Sue Palmer Nedrow
Sue was born January 20, 1942 to Helen (Summers)
Palmer and Fred Robert Palmer, Huntington, WV. It is here she
spent her youth, raised her children, and maintained close ties
to family and community. She graduated from Huntington High
School (1959) and Marshall University with a degree in Social
Work. Her career allowed her to provide care and assistance for
many people via Prestera Center, American Red Cross in
Huntington and Raleigh, NC (Disaster Services and Veteran
Affairs), and Branches Domestic Violence Shelter in Huntington.
She was a member of the Presbyterian community, attending Enslow
Park as a youth, long time member of First Presbyterian, and
most recently a member of Highlawn Presbyterian Church. For
fifteen years, Sue wintered in Tucson, AZ where she built a rich
circle of friends expanding her creative and social horizons.
Sue's passions created joyful moments for her and her friends.
She loved to cook and prepared many experimental dishes for
potlucks often sourced from her garden. She traveled to Provence,
France to learn this cuisine, and later expanded to Japanese
cooking and culture. Her passion for horses led her to volunteer
with two horse rescues in Tucson. She was an ardent volunteer at
Lily's Place in Huntington and at the NICU at Tucson Medical
Center. Her love of cats extended beyond her personal fur family
to rescue and support local strays. On September 14, 2019, Sue
passed away peacefully at Hospice House in Huntington, WV after
a short but acute case of myasthenia gravis. Sue is preceded in
death by her parents. She is survived by her brother F. Robert
