Obituary for Margy Ann Palmer (Pitt)
Margy Ann Pitt Palmer, 86, was called home to be with her Lord on Monday, August 1, 2022, at the Springs of Stony Brook after a short illness. Margy was a retired piano and music teacher.
Having begun her music lessons at the tender age of three, Margy perfected her craft at Garden Court, the University of Louisville Music School. For over forty years, she brought music to the hearts of many young people and had an extraordinary concert career. Many of her former students often say they owe their livelihoods to Miss Margy.
Margy was proceeded in death by her beloved Parents, Josephine and Ernest Curd Pitt, Grandparents, Anna and Ben F. Long, Marguarite and W.E.Pitt, and her two brothers, Benjamin Long Pitt and Terry Ernest Pitt.
Her survivors include her husband Gerald L. Palmer, Jr., her helpmate and best friend for nearly sixty-six years, her son, the Reverend Dr. Bradley Palmer (Sherry), her daughter, Ms. Joanna Palmer Lowry (Gary Hobbs), her grandsons Charles Benjamin Palmer, and Collin Walker Lowry.
In addition, she is survived by her niece, Ms. Terri Pitt Vaughn (Frank Sittnick) of Miami, Florida, and two special cousins, Mr. Edmond M. Smith, Jr. (Ann), and Ms. Marguerite S. Patterson (Joe). She is also survived by numerous cousins and friends.
During her life, she was a longtime member of the Highland Presbyterian Church.
