Palmar Felix Turnblom

Palmar Felix Turnblom, beloved husband and father and dear friend, left his earthly experience and returned home on Wednesday, January 4, at 1:20 p.m. Embraced by his family, he bid a tender farewell to his dear wife, Margaret Leah Applonie, and returned to his Heavenly Father to rejoin daughter, Sarah Jane, his parents, Felix Heber Turnblom and Mildred Evalyn Wilmoth, his sisters, Elsie, Evelyn, and El Vera, and his brother, Parley.

Palmar and Margaret served in the Lion’s Club for many years, where he served as President. They actively participated in the senior citizens. His most cherished responsibilities in the LDS Church were home teaching and working as Elders Quorum President, High Priests Group Leader, and in the bishopric. He loved making birthday calls, playing ball, and sharing his life with his family.

Palmar and Margaret shared 65 wonderful years together as they raised a rambunctious family of eight children: Paul (Sandy) Turnblom, Karen Ratta, Steven (Marlene) Turnblom, Dominique, Diane (Brent) Peterson, Daniel (Joy) Turnblom, Cheryl (Alan) Bartholomew, and Laurie Turnblom. He is survived by 36 grandchildren and 48 great grandchildren.
