Imogene Myrtle Palmer

Wilamena Scott in Mearnsville, Westmoreland, Jamaica West Indies. She was the third of

nine children.

Imogene received her early education from Mearnsville All Age School in

Westmoreland.

Imogene was previously married to Lindon Palmer in 1955.

In 1965, Imogene migrated to the Unites States with the aspiration of achieving a better

quality of life. Her desires were to become a caregiver and a beautician. To achieve

these goals, Imogene pursued her studies and obtained her CNA certification and her

Cosmetology Diploma. Imogene fulfilled her dreams by working for numerous years at

the Waring Nursing Home in the Bronx, New York, and Rego Park Nursing Home in

Queens, New York. At times, she worked both jobs consecutively.

Imogene was a faithful member of Butler Methodist Church in the Bronx, New York, for

over forty years. She was also actively involved in the church choir until she relocated to

Orlando, Florida.

Imogene enthusiastically cared for her plants and flowers. Many of her conversations

evolved around her plants and she did not hesitate to offer “plant growing advise.” She

cherished her flower garden and loved nurturing her plants even in her senior years. She

also delighted in dancing and was often the first one on the dance floor.

Most of all, Imogene was passionate about her family and friends. She enjoyed family

gatherings especially during the holidays. She consistently provided compassion, love, a

warm and friendly home and other assistance as needed.

After a short illness, Imogene transitioned to her heavenly father on April 10th, 2025.

She will surely be missed.

Imogene is predeceased by her son Earl Scott, three sisters and three brothers.

She is survived by her sons, Garth (Sonia) Palmer, Trevor (Clive) Palmer and Karl Palmer,

grandchildren, Judy, Lena, Richard, David, Khary, Kearne, Keisha, Sadiki, Leana, Shomari

and 16 great-grandchildren, Sisters, Lena (Herman) Channer, Pansy (Ridley)

Tomlinson, niece, Sandra Lai, other nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends
