Jeraldine (Jeri) Keith Palmer

Jeraldine (Jeri) Keith Palmer of Fallbrook, passed away June 4, 2014 at Escondido-Palomar Hospital. She was preceded in death by her husband Thomas Y. Palmer. She is survived by two sons, Lex and Keith Palmer; two grandchildren; sister Wilda Moller and brother Mel Keith.

Jeri was born in Rochester, N.Y. to Stanley and Marion Keith on November 15, 1927. Her violinmaker father instilled a love of music in her. Jeri attended Occidental College and began a 47-year music-teaching career. She enjoyed traveling, working as a Western Airlines stewardess where she met her future husband Tom.

They began residing in Fallbrook in 1974, and Jeri taught grades 5-7 at Vallecitos School for 25 years. She concurrently worked as a private piano instructor and directed local church choir groups, which she continued in an active retirement. The family will have a private remembrance.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you play your favorite song and sing along with it. Donations to North County Music Teachers Association, (www.nsdmtac.com/index.html), in Jeri’s name are also welcome.
