Connie Dea Palmour

Connie spent her early years in Yoakum, TX and then moved to Corpus Christi, TX where she attended and graduated from Mary Carroll High School. She met James Gayland Palmour in Yoakum in 1960, and they were wed on January 27, 1962. They had 3 daughters who would go on to bless them with many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She worked and retired from the City of Houston Water Purification Division.

She was a devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Connie was affectionately known as Nana by her family. Her smile was bright and her hugs were full of warmth and comfort to those she loved. Her and James’ home was a beacon to their family, and all were welcome to gather at their table. Nobody left hungry from Nana’s table.

She was a member of the social sorority Beta Sigma Phi where she enjoyed spending time with her sorority sisters, participating in various activities, events, and philanthropy. She also enjoyed participating in a Bunco league with many friends. Connie loved to bake and her kitchen was the heart of her home. She also loved to sew and camp with her family.
