Crystal Lee Palmer
1965-2018
It is with heavy hearts, the family of
Crystal Lee (Olsen) Palmer, wife of Paul Palmer, announces her
peaceful passing on Saturday, October 20, 2018 at the Saint John
Regional Hospital with her loved ones at her
side.
Born on February 14, 1965 in Saint John,
she is the daughter of Emil and Margot (Bean) Olsen.
Crystal’s passion was to help others as evidenced by her
work as a Public Health Nurse. For those who knew Crystal, they know
how important education was to her. This motivated Crystal
to further her education in nursing; she was a proud graduate from
UNBSJ in 2005 with her Bachelor of
Nursing.
Crystal’s husband Paul was her
life-long best friend, being high school sweethearts at KVHS and
graduates of UNBSJ. They were proud of all of their accomplishments,
personal and professional, and those of their children. They lived
life to the fullest by travelling the world, enjoying music at various
concerts, good food and wine, boating, and sharing endless other
wonderful memories with family and friends.
Crystal and Paul were most proud of their
two daughters and the loving families they created. She absolutely
adored her granddaughter Zoe, who brought her so much joy over this
past year. Crystal also loved her grand fur-babies, and always had
special treats waiting for them for each visit.
Besides her best friend, Paul (husband of
31 years), she is survived by her daughters and their families:
Courtney Palmer (Cory Marshall) and their daughter Zoe of Dartmouth,
NS, Lindsay Lewis (Michael) and their fur babies Sven and Arlo of
Fredericton. She is also survived by her siblings and their families:
Melody Mayberry (Duncan) and their children Kayla and Alex of
Quispamsis, Tim Olsen (Maureen) and their daughters Emily and Jane of
Quispamsis, and Tiffany Bastin (Geoff) and their daughters Alia and
Annika of Fredericton, as well as her paternal grandmother, Ellen
Olsen, several aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Crystal was predeceased by her maternal
grandparents Armand and Stella Bean, paternal grandfather Emil C.
Olsen and Aunt Bonnie Olsen.
The family wishes to express their sincere
appreciation to Doctor Brian Archer and the Interventional Radiology
Department at the Saint John Regional Hospital. The family would also
like to extend a thank-you to the staff at the Palliative Care Unit
for their kindness and excellent care provided to Crystal.
