Sara Kaitlin Katy Palmer

Sara Kaitlin Palmer Katy came into this world on June 17, 1992 and left suddenly on March 8, 2013. She is the daughter of Dr. Wesley and Donna Palmer.

Katy grew up in Bridge City and graduated from BCHS in 2010. Shortly after graduation she moved to Austin, Texas to attend school and work. She had a variety of jobs from cook to bail bondsman, the latest being a security guard.

Katy loved her dog, Maggie, dearly and has always liked all animals. She enjoyed cooking, crafting, resale shopping, drinking triple shot Starbuck coffee, and music. She could play the piano. Her favorite pass-time was just hanging out with her friends. She loved life and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Katy is survived by her parents, Dr. Wesley and Donna Palmer; two brothers, Billy Palmer, Bryan Bishop and wife, Misti; sisters, Paula Dorsey and Alicia Tyler; and several nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Funeral services will be 10:00 a.m., Thursday, March 14, 2013, at St. Paul United Methodist Church in Bridge City. Burial will follow at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens near Bridge City. Visitation will be from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., Wednesday at Claybar Funeral Home in Bridge City.

Condolences
