Mabel Palmer and Tom Moore Quincey, California - September 3, 1996 Mabel Brazee Palmer, age 94, peacefully went to be with the Lord Friday, Dec. 17, 2004, with family at her side at Antelope Valley Hospital located in Little Rock. A native of the Philippines, Mabel was born in Masbate City on Masbate Island on Oct. 18, 1910, to Albert and Conseulo Brazee. Her father was sent to the islands as part of the Oregon Volunteers during the Spanish American War. Mabel was raised and educated in the Philippines and went on to attend Secretarial College there. She met and later married the late Harold A. Sweet while residing in the Philippines in 1930. The family moved from the islands to settle in Hong Kong, China where Hal was employed as a pilot for the Chinese National Aviation Corporation. The family was forced to leave Hong Kong during the Japanese invasion of World War II, to settle in Pasadena. Harold passed away in 1948 and Mabel, as a single mother, proudly raised her family of seven children while working for the California Department of Motor Vehicles. After meeting and marrying the late Glenn Palmer, the family moved to Quincy in 1966 where Mable served as a legal secretary for the Plumas County Court system for seven years prior to her retirement. Mabel was a devout member of the Roman Catholic faith who was a stalwart of St. John's Parish of Quincy. While religiously attending daily Mass, the members of the parish could always count on Mabel to be there to help in the operation of the parish while serving as a member of the altar society, helping with the religious education of the youth to cleaning and preparing the altar linens. Mabel found pleasure and solace in attending retreats while also enjoying travel. She traveled throughout the world visiting religious shrines and the holy land.
