    Her Story

    Kathleen (Katy) Elizabeth Thomas, age 30 of Taunton, passed away on February 28, 2024 of complications following childbirth at Good Samaritan Hospital.

    Born in Taunton, she was the daughter of Arnold Thomas, III of Taunton and the late Elizabeth (Fottler) Brown.

    Katy was the devoted mother of Aaila Faith and Amia Hope.  She is also survived by her brother, Joshua Brown, his wife Lee Anne and her adored nephew Orson of New Hampshire. Katy was also the cherished granddaughter of Kathleen and the late Robert Fottler of Taunton, and Flo and the late Arnold Thomas of California. She will be missed by her many aunts, uncles and cousins, namely Joey and Kyle, with whom she shared a special bond.

    Katy graduated from Bristol Plymouth High School, where she met some of her lifelong friends. She enjoyed spending time with her large family, from summers at her Aunt Robin’s pool to spending St. Patrick’s Day in Newport.  Katy and her daughter Aaila had many traditions; attending the lighting of the green, grandma’s “girl’s weekend”, and summer adventures all over New England. She loved animals, nature and spending days at the beach.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-links-header”]

She enjoyed skiing, ice skating, tennis, photography, baking and her dog, Talia; she cherished being a wife to Gary, an aunt to her niece Ali, and loved her family who will miss her generous caring spirit profoundly.

    Jessica is survived by her son, Logan; her husband, Gary Pereira; sister, Vanessa Stark; brother, Claudio Przepiora; parents, Carolyn Stark and John Przepiora, and niece, Alexandrea.

    Her Story

    [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-story”]It is with extraordinary grief that we share the passing of Janelle Lee Bailey Palmer, who died in her Idaho Falls, Idaho home on Thursday March 13, 2025, aged 36, of a spontaneous coronary artery dissection.

    Janelle was born in Midland, Texas to Richard and Sandra Bailey. She spent a short time as an infant in Barnwell, Alberta, Canada. The majority of her childhood was spent in Klamath Falls, Oregon with her three siblings; Kim, Nathan and Brian.

    She graduated from Henley High School as class valedictorian, but her life-long distinction was her ability to draw people in with her innate kindness and warmth. She truly was a friend to all.

    In the years following high school, Janelle received her Associate’s Degree from BYU-Idaho. A devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Janelle served a mission to Sao Paulo, Brazil.

    Following her mission, Janelle earned a BS and Master’s Degree from BYU in Communication Disorders. She worked as a Pediatric Speech Pathologist at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center, a fulfilling job that led to a blind date with Shane Palmer, who won Janelle’s heart.

    Shane and Janelle were married on July 14, 2018, in the Idaho Falls Temple. Janelle’s greatest joy was in her motherhood and she and Shane were blessed with four beautiful children, a fulfillment of Janelle’s most earnest dream. Janelle will be deeply missed by her husband and children, her family, her friends, and the many lives that she touched in her time on earth.

    Janelle is survived by her loving husband Shane, her children Bailey, James, Louisa and Clara, her parents Richard and Sandra Bailey of Klamath Falls, Oregon, her siblings Kim (Nick) Barney of Grant, Idaho, Nathan (Alisa) Bailey of Klamath Falls, Oregon, and Brian (Kay Sea) Bailey of Klamath Falls, Oregon, her parents-in-law Mike and Kerry Palmer of Moreland, Idaho, and her grandparents Henry and Jean Davis of Provo, Utah. Janelle is preceded in death by her grandparents Junior C and Jean Bailey.

    Janelle’s memory will be especially cherished by her 20 nieces and nephews, to whom she was like a second mother, her sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, and her many aunts, uncles and cousins.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-links-header”]
