JOANN JENNINGS PALMER departed this life for her Heavenly home on July 9, 2021. Born the second daughter of nine children to Noah and Daphne (Kilgore) Stapleton in Scott County, VA, she lived most of her life there. She was married to Hobert (Doby) Jennings and had two sons, Paul and Terry. She was a member of Copper Creek (Addington Frame) Church for many years and faithfully attended until her passing. She was also an active member of the Order of the Eastern Star. She had five grandchildren, Amanda, Lori, Necole, Leighann, and Brian, and four great- grandchildren.

She was a quiet and gentle lady who gave of herself seeing after family and friends. She was a hard worker and retired from Eastman Chemical Company. She was a blessing to our family and loved by all who knew her. She was married to Roland Palmer in later years, and they enjoyed several years together. We miss her every day, and we know she is resting in paradise awaiting the reunion of her four loving sisters, Nell Kendrick, Marie Addington, Flo Minton, and Carol Culbertson.
