Paula Rudd Palmer, 65, of Rigby, Idaho peacefully gained her wings June 28, 2020 in her home

surrounded by her family.

Paula was born December 1, 1954 in Ashton, Idaho to Earl Rudd and Elda Jenkins Rudd. Paula

was raised in Parker being the baby of five children. She attended grade school in Parker Idaho.

She graduated from South Fremont High School. She was a big part of her high school drill

team, as well as the debate team.

On August 28, 1976 Paula married the love of her life, Brent J Palmer. He stole her heart and

the rest is history. He was her rock, especially in the final years of her life. They made their

home in Rigby, Idaho.

Brent and Paula were blessed with all girls in the family. Brodi Jo, Jamie Lynn, Ashli Maegan,

daughter by heart Shanon Taylor, and one granddaughter, Ashlynn Grace. Paula was beyond

dedicated to each of them. She was their biggest fan in life.

Paula worked for 20 years at Ken Brown Accounting and later worked at WalMart in Ammon,

Idaho until her retirement.

Paula enjoyed supporting her girls in all of their activities. She enjoyed bowling, a good game of

pinochle with her family, loved the Utah Jazz, and was full of adventure and life before her

health slowed her down the last few years. Paula dearly loved her family and friends and

cherished the time she was able to spend with each of them.

Paula is survived by her husband Brent J Palmer of Rigby, Idaho, daughters Brodi Palmer of

Boise, Idaho, Jamie Palmer of Rigby, Idaho, Ashli Palmer of Umatilla, Oregon and

granddaughter Ashlynn Palmer of Boise, Idaho
