Met George D. Palm, Jr. in 1927 at the Denver Bible Institute and after their marriage in 1933 served in mission work in the rural areas of Colorado. After receiving a letter telling of the need for Christian workers in the Ozarks, they moved to St. Louis in 1934.
While attending Hope Church, Pastor Jesse Thornton told them of a missionary project he had started in the foothills of the Ozarks near St. James, MO. “In April, 1935, Mr. Thornton took us down through St. James and over some of the roughest roads we had ever experienced, through tangled oak forests, over washed out, bumpy roads, nearly straight up or straight down, through creek beds and out into an open expanse of farm land in the fork of Benton Creek and the Merrimac River. This was ‘Tadmor in the Wilderness’ where Mr. Thornton already had a number of Christian projects underway and with dreams for more.” They spent almost two years here, moving away some time around the spring of 1937.
Edith was sister to Dorothy Clark who was a long time supporter of Tadmor in the Wilderness.
She moved to Arizona in 1952, and had lived in the Arizona Pioneers Home in Prescott since 1986.
She was a retired school teacher, and was involved in missionary work with her husband.
Palm is survived by her brother David Clark, of Columbia, MO and two sisters, Margaret McQuaig, of Kansas City, MO and Dorothy Clark of Scabring, FL.
