Ann Dore Palmer, wife of Mel Palmer, went home to be with the Lord on Aug. 23, 2010. Ann was born in New Orleans on Sept. 20, 1944, and resided in Covington for the last 29 years. She was the daughter of late John Batiste Dore Jr. and Edith Ragan Dore Brinkman; sister of Esther Price, Lester Dore and the late John B. Dore and Daniel Dore; mother of Lisa, wife of Jack Strain; Alan Palmer; Kim, wife of Chris Loyd; Jill, wife of John Mathies; Ann, wife of Jerome King; Marcy, wife of Clarence Mullen and grandmother of Ryan Palmer, Rhett Strain, Aaron Dufrene, Steven Dufrene, Joseph Palmer, Jennie Dufrene, Rachel Strain, Jace King, Susan Palmer, Brian Hill, John Palmer, Josh King, Joel King, Colleen Mathies, Ann King, Brett Mullen, Julie Mathies, Clarence Mullen and the late Rodney Strain III. She was adored and loved by a host of nieces and nephews and she devoted much of her life to the care of numerous abused and neglected children through foster care. Ann believed that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. She is presently at the feet of Jesus worshipping him forevermore.

Graveside services were held Tuesday at St. Louis Cemetery No. 3, New Orleans. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to His Courts of Praise, P.O. Box 1720, Abita Springs, LA 70420. Arrangements are by Bagnell & Son Funeral Home of Covington. To view and sign the family guest book, please visit www.bagnellfuneralhome.com.
