Az'urai Palmer
July 29, 2013
Az’urai Palmer, 16, passed away Monday, July 29, 2013, at Mercy Medical Center.
Az’urai was born October 19, 1996, in Des Moines. She excelled academically and recently attended the NYLC (National Youth Leadership Conference). Az’urai enjoyed reading, writing, drawing, singing, playing the guitar, cooking, watching movies, making people laugh, and poetry. She was often described as a hipster. Az’urai was too eccentric to be put under any label. Az’urai was just Az’urai.
In death as in life, Az’urai will continue to touch the lives of others as she had previously made the decision to be an organ and tissue donor.
Az’urai is survived by her mother, Kristina (Benito) Quinonez; father, Richard Palmer, Sr.; siblings, Jasmine Palmer and Richard Palmer, Jr.; grandparents, Vickie (Bob) Horsch, Corliss “Nanny” DeVan, and Ed (Katy) Polich; great-grandmother, Deloise Veith; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
A Service of Remembrance will be held at 4 p.m. Friday, August 2, 2013, at Hamilton’s Southtown Funeral Home, 5400 SW 9th Street.
Memorial contributions may be directed to the family.

Rick, Kristina, Jasmine and Bo:
I'm sorry for our loss. There never seems to be the right words when grieving the loss of a loved one. We'll all miss her. It is my prayer to God that He make the world more loving because of our loss. Every tear, every bit of sorrow and feeling of loss, I know He'll use for good. Az'urai was smart, talented and beautiful. Even in her passing, she is still teaching us things we couldn't quite understand in her presence. I pray her soul would rest eternally with God and an angel of the Lord would cover us all.
We love you Az'urai Palmer! We can't wait to see you again!
