CONNIE JEAN TURNER

Connie Turner, the fiercely loyal matriarch of the Turner family, passed away peacefully on Monday, October 4th, 2021.

One of Connie's many gifts was coaxing her grandbabies and great grandbabies to sleep in her arms. Her laugh was not to be forgotten, especially while belly-laughing at her six children for acting like jokers.

Connie's children and extended family members were also united in their enjoyment of hearing her scold her husband of 63 years, "Sonny" Ralph Turner. In addition to her offspring, Connie adored the many canines that graced her household-and just about any dogs she came across in life. She spent her golden years surrounded by family, mastering puzzles, playing cards, becoming a Tetris champion, and playing Words with Friends with her daughters and granddaughters.

There are so many things that Connie left with us that will endure in our hearts. In the world around us, some constant reminders of Connie are red cardinal birds, butterflies, flowers, and the song You are My Sunshine, just to name a few. She will be greatly missed and always remembered by many, many, people.

Beloved wife of Ralph C. Turner Sr. of 63 years; loving mother of Jean Marks (Bill), Douglas Turner (Adrienne), Russell Turner, Colleen Smith (Robert), Ralph Turner Jr., and Janelle Kubisch (Gary); cherished grandmother to 26 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren; treasured sister of Barry Murray (Faye), Carolyn Dankovich (Charles), and Randy Murray (Beth).
