Mary E Palmer Underhill

Mary E (Palmer) Underhill was granted passage to heaven on January 5th, 2019, at the age of 82 . She is survived by her husband, James M. Underhill, whom she was married to for 54years- she is survived by her son Vincent and her daughters Cindy and Mary; her grandchildren Brandon, Jamie, Shalynn, Josh, Kayla, Michael and Damian along with 10 great grand-children and 1 on the way; her sister-in -law Kerry Palmer and many nieces and nephews; She is preceded in death by her beloved daughter Dale Collins, brother Louis Palmer and her parents, Dudley and Julia Palmer. Our beautiful mother served her country as a military wife for over 20 Years while raising 5 children. She was honored as Navy Wife of the year, always supporting our service families. She served as the president of VFW post 2539 in Gulfport, president of the VFW first district, and retired civil service commissioner secretary, city of Gulfport. She loved God and she loved her family. Mary never went a day without telling her church, family and her friends how much they meant. She lived a life in service of others. She was a fighter- I take comfort knowing she is in a better place with the words her niece sent to us on the morning she passed away-Karigen Hoda sent “Aunt Mary put up a fight this morning. Not one nurse didn’t walk by without telling me how shocked they were because she was being so strong. I know she is rejoicing with the lord. Those heavenly gates were wide open for her. The lord called his angel!” While we are heartbroken to lose her on earth she is joined by her daughter, brother and parents in Heaven. We will cherish the memories we have of her and feel her spirit around us. Visitation is Thursday, January 10, 2019 from 9:30 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. with the service at 11 am at Bradford-O’Keefe Funeral Home, 15th Street, Gulfport.
