Bio
Gerald G. "Jerry" Palm, 85, of Elk Mountain, Wyoming died July 14, 2013 at Ivinson Memorial Hospital with his loving family at his side. Jerry was born September 12, 1927 in the family farmhouse at Albin, Wyoming, the third son of Edwin R. and Jennie A. (Branigan) Palm's six children. He grew up at Albin working on the family farm. He graduated from Albin High School in 1946, where he was active in sports, excelling in basketball. He continued his education at Colorado A & M before transferring to the University of Wyoming where he graduated in 1950. While attending U.W. Jerry met the love of his life, Nancy Marston. They married in Laramie on July 2, 1950, and just celebrated 63 years. In 1948, the Palm family expanded their agricultural operations by purchasing Quealy Land and Livestock Company near Elk Mountain, Wyoming, and forming Palm Livestock Company. Gerald and Nancy started their life together at the Home Ranch at the foot of Elk Mountain. The couple had three sons: Steve, John "Casey" and Burt. They lived on several of the family ranches in the Elk Mountain and Hanna area, raising their sons on the Basin Ranch during the summer and moving to Headquarters, near Hanna, in the winter to be closer to school. During his lifetime Jerry was active in his community and profession, serving on the Elk Mountain and Hanna/Elk Mountain School Boards for over 20 years. He was a Lifetime Member of the Wyoming Stock Growers Association, serving as its 35th President from 1979-1981. He was also a Lifetime Member of the Carbon County Stock Growers Association, the Wyoming Wool Growers Association and the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. He was a 50 year member of Hanna Lodge No. 50, A.F. & A. M. Gerald was an avid Wyoming Cowboys Football fan, holding season tickets at the 40 yard line since War Memorial Stadium was built in 1950. He was an active member of the Cowboy Joe Club. He loved his family and ranching, and was very proud of his sons and his grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents; four brothers, Edwin, Norman, Kenneth, Robert; and sister Lois Peterson. Jerry is survived by his wife Nancy, sons and their spouses Steve and Jackie of Wheatland, John "Casey" and Nellie of Hanna, Burt and Kay Lynn of Medicine Bow; five grandchildren and one great-grandchild: Jason and wife Jenni Palm and their daughter Cedar, Sonnie Palm, Rita and husband Ryan Farthing, Justin Palm and Quade Palm, along with numerous nieces and nephews. © Montgomery-Stryker July 19, 2013
