Helen Lucille Turner

In loving memory of Helen Lucille Turner March 2nd , 1948 – September 6th 2024 Beloved wife, mother and grandmother Charles Haddon Spurgeon said, “The best moment of a Christian’s life is his last one, because it is the one that is nearest heaven.” Mom’s life spanned 76 years. She was a wife, mother, grandmother and a friend to many. Mom was kind and loving and at times reserved. Her gentle spirit and unwavering Faith and compassion touched the lives of many. She leaves behind a legacy of warmth and love. Mom’s family and friends remember her not only for the roles she played, but for the grace with which she lived her life. By the grace of God, she strived to put others first and nurtured those around her with an open heart. She was an active member of Dickenson First Presbyterian Church and Westminster Presbyterian Church for over 30 years. Mom loved sharing her faith. She looked for opportunities to let people know what Jesus did for her. Her testimony was that she was washed in the Blood of the Lamb! She was far from perfect, but she had a Perfect Savior! Mom had a hard life that was filled with dark clouds that were a part of her life. Jesus scattered those dark clouds and brought sunshine and joy. She enjoyed many activities: Gardening, cooking, and especially spending time with family and friends. She really enjoyed flea markets and yard sales, always looking for things to share. Her warm presence and kind heart will always be remembered. Her generosity was equally known by her family. Mom had a passion for baking that brought joy to all of us. Her treats created lasting memories. Among our favorites were her tender cooked apples, buttery biscuits, moist zucchini bread, and freezer jam. During the holidays, mom’s kitchen transformed into a haven of festive flavors and smells that read like a story book. Her pecan tasties, and cream puffs always took center stage. Each bite told us of her love and dedication she had in making them for us. In joy and pain mom cried out to her Savior Jesus! Left to honor her memory are her beloved children: Tony (Dorcie) Turner, Ronaka (Melvin) Wells, Mark (Melissa) Turner, Arthur (Rebecca) Turner, Stephen (Chrisitie) Turner, and Donavan (Glenda) Turner. She is also remembered fondly by her 14 cherished grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. Additionally, her memory will live on through her 2 siblings, Mike Owens and Robert Owens. The family will receive friends Monday September 09, 2024 at 5:30pm at Mullins Funeral Home Chapel with services conducted at 6:00pm.
