Doris Helen Palmer

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Doris Helen Palmer, aged 97, who left this world peacefully on August 14, 2026. Doris was born on August 10, 1929, in Pikeville, Kentucky, to Emil and Angie Wagner. She was predeceased by her beloved parents, her sons Richard and Michael Deneau, and her grandson Joey Deneau. She is survived by her children: Linda Copen, Randy (Diana) Cummings, and Dale (Reba) Cummings. Doris was a proud grandmother to 10 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. Doris had a special passion for sewing and quilting, which brought joy to her family through gifts of quilts and repairing stuffed animals and creating beautiful doll clothes. Doris’s kind heart and generosity extended beyond her family. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly suggests that donations in her memory be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, an organization close to her heart.
