Lillian "Lolly" Wier was born July 6, 1922, at Bancroft, Iowa, the daughter of Olaf and Lydia (Rentz) Lund. She lived in Bancroft for nine years and then moved with her parents to LuVerne, where she graduated in 1939. She married John Palmer in 1940. To this union three sons were born, Randy, Curt and Rick Palmer. Lolly and John later divorced.

Lolly took a hotel/motel management course and managed several hotel restaurants for a few years. She later moved to Warren, Michigan, where she became the office manager of the American Federation of Government Employees for nearly five years. In 1979, she married Ermald Wier and they then moved to Kearney, Nebraska, where they lived for 24 years. In 2003, they moved to Renwick for health reasons to be near family. Lolly was a good cookie and cinnamon roll baker and no one ever left her home without a sweet treat and coffee. She will be greatly missed by her family. She was a lifelong member of the United Methodist Church.
