Virgina (Aiken) Palmer, 71, of Russell County, KY, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully after a courageous battle with cancer on Saturday, May 27, 2026 surrounded by the love of her family.
She was a devoted wife and a proud mother to her two sons. Nothing brought her greater joy than spending time with her nine grandchildren, who filled her life with laughter, love, and treasured memories. She had a deep love for family and enjoyed many happy times with those she loved most. Whether sitting around a campfire, or a card table sharing stories, or simply being together, she created lasting memories that her family will forever hold close to their hearts.
She will be remembered for her strength, kindness, warmth, and the unconditional love she gave to everyone around her. Nursing was her passion from being the Newport School Nurse, New London & Valley Regional Hospitals Management, and in retirement she loved being a school bus driver. Her presence touched many lives, and she will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Her husband: Wayne Palmer
