Palmer grew up as a member of both tribes and learned the Muscogee language.{{sfn|Myers|1978|p=3}} When she began attending public school, she learned English by having an interpreter help her, as the classes were taught solely in English.{{sfn|Myers|1978|p=4}} After completing her primary education in a rural school near Holdenville, Palmer was sent to further her education at Chilocco Indian School{{sfn|Myers|1978|p=6}} and then returned to complete her secondary schooling at Holdenville High School. After graduation, she enrolled in Hills Business University in Oklahoma City.{{sfn|Myers|1978|p=7}}

Career

By the early 1950s, Palmer had married Rev. Lee Chupco and was speaking on behalf of the Methodist church of the work that she and her husband did among Oklahoma's Indian tribes. Rev. Chupco was the superintendent of the central district for Indian Missions and both he and his wife traveled the country on speaking engagements.{{sfn|The Great Bend Tribune|1954|p=8}}{{sfn|The Miami Daily News-Record|1955|p=6}}{{sfn|Downey|1957|p=4}}{{sfn|The Daily Republican|1958|p=7}} In 1950, Chupco was elected to serve as president of the Women's Society of Christian Service for the United Methodist Church's Oklahoma Indian Mission. She held the office until 1954 and then was re-elected to the post in 1958, serving through 1960.{{sfn|Deere|2014}} Chupco was one of the co-founders of the Tulsa Indian Center,{{sfn|The Pittsburgh Courier|1971|p=5}} which was created with funds from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare as a counseling center to assist native peoples in making the adjustment to living in urban environments.{{sfn|Myers|1978|p=12}}
