Mrs. Lecia Darlene Paschal Palmer was born on August 16, 1963 to the late Richard and Betty Burnette Paschal. She made her transition from earthly life to eternal rest on Saturday, November 26, 2022 at Moses Cone Hospital.
Lecia was educated in the Chatham County School System and was a graduate of Chatham Central High School. She also attended Central Carolina Community College studying Business Education.

Throughout her membership, she worked in various departments and held numerous positions within the church (Church Beautification Committee, Sunday School Teacher, Director of Christian Education, President of the WMB Ensemble, Missionary Member-Life Member, Head of Community Bible Study and Lay Council Member). In addition, Lecia faithfully served in many capacities on the Durham District which included: Second Mile Coordinator for the Women’s Home, Overseas Missionary Society-Durham District and Durham District Coordinator for the National Council of Negro Women.

On April 12, 2008, Lecia was united in holy matrimony to her loving and devoted husband Robert Palmer. She was preceded in death by her father Richard Paschal, Sr., a brother James Paschal, Sr. and a nephew James Paschal, Jr.
