    Geneva Goodman Palmer, 69, returned to her heavenly Father on July 12, 1999.  She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother.  She will be missed by all.

    She is survived by her husband, Harold Palmer of Aztec; her sons, Ken Palmer and wife Denise, of Kalamazoo, Mich., Tom Palmer and wife, Barbara, of Eugene, Ore., and Rick Palmer and wife, Dru, of Aztec; 15 grandchildren; three great-grandchildren.  She is also survived by her brothers and sisters, Ervin Goodman and wife, Dolores, of Farmington, Clyde Goodman and wife, Elna, of Bloomfield, Tom Goodman and wife, Milda, Cedar City, Utah, Erma Ausburn and husband, Don, Mesa, Ariz., and Alice Christensen and husband, Marvin, of Rochester, N.Y.

    Geneva and Harold were married in March of 1947 and lived most of their married life in Bloomfield and Aztec.  She enjoyed life to the fullest.  A few of her pastimes were reading, gardening, and playing golf with her friends at the Hidden Valley Golf Club.  The most enjoyable part of her life was her family, and especially when they were all together.

    A memorial service was held to celebrate her life at the L.D.S. Aztec Chapel at 1 p.m. on Friday July 15, 1999, with Bishop Tom Stinson officiating.

    The family requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Aztec Museum, 125 N. Main St., Aztec, NM 87410.

    Funeral arrangements were with Cope Memorial Chapel, Aztec, 334-9332
