was 94 years old. She was a strong, Christian woman. Although blessed with a
wonderful life, she knew that these things which are seen are temporal and she
never lost sight of those things which are eternal. She looked forward to that
glad reunion day when she would be with her Lord and the many loved ones who
have gone on before her. Those having gone on before her include, her parents,
Henry and Ida Berry; ten siblings; her husband, Hugh Patton Turner; and her
son-in-laws, Buford Shiflet and Kelly D. Taylor II. We have no doubt that this
was a glad reunion day. She leaves behind three daughters, Betty Shiflet, Donna
Pique and Linda Taylor; eight grandchildren, Bobby Shiflet and wife Kathy, Renee
Shiflet, Tony Pique, Kelly Taylor III, and wife Tammy, Tanya Alsup and husband
Mike, Shannon Haynes and husband Robby, Ketasha Tabor and husband Mikhael,

Warren Shiflet, Lauren Taylor, Kelly Taylor IV, Ellen Taylor, Taylor Alsup,
Claudia Alsup, Nathan Turner Haynes, Caleb Haynes and Hannah Haynes; and special
niece, Blanch Berry Welch. Proverbs 31:28 "Her children arise up, and call her
blessed…" We have been blessed. The family will be receiving friends from
