Nancy M. Palmer

Nancy M. Palmer of New Hampton entered into rest on Tuesday, Feb. 26, 201,9 with her family by her side. She was 56.
The daughter of Walter Naugle, his wife Joan Martin Naugle and Florence Lappetito Naugle, she was born on Sept. 10, 1962, in Goshen.
Nancy had presence, easily filling a room with her mood. She was a warm hug, a big smile, an unmistakable laugh and the serene feeling of safety.
Loving, nurturing, lively and passionate, family meant everything. Family was inclusive for her. More than her own children knew her as “Mom.”
She doted on good friends almost as much as her menagerie of spoiled pets.
Nothing brought Nancy more joy than being with her children, grandchildren and husband Chris. Nancy loved making memories, whether it was organizing a family dinner, investigating ghost stories or planning a large family trip.
She lived for the experiences large and small, chatting and laughing the whole way.
A conversation always seemed easy.
All her inspiration was put into her handcrafted cards and scrapbooks made during Crops, surrounded by friends. Her works are beautiful treasures to share and preserve her life, memory and experiences.
Nancy had a connection to this world, to the people she met, that few possess. Tough, quirky, energetic, warm and incredible.
She will be dearly missed.
She is survived by her husband, Christopher R. Palmer; son Joseph Schuk and wife Sheila; son Justin Schuk and wife Melissa; daughter Nicole Palmer; granddaughter Vivian Schuk; step grandson Alex Motter; brother Kenneth Naugle and husband Nicholas Carroll; stepbrother Dave Fenner and wife Michelle; along with several nieces, nephews and cousins.
A memorial service was held March 5 at T.S. Purta Funeral Home in Florida.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Goshen Humane Society, Inc., PO Box 37, Goshen, NY 10924.
Funeral arrangements were under the direction of the T.S. Purta Funeral Home.
